Résumé
Fungal origin mycotic aneurysms are rare and carry a high mortality rate. We report a case of a 23-year-old patient with Burkitt's lymphoma and graft-versus-host disease admitted with intracerebral hemorrhage and sequential development of 12 anterior circulation aneurysms from disseminated We highlight the difficulties in treating fungal mycotic aneurysms and the associated high mortality. While a less aggressive approach might have been appropriate given the known poor outcomes, the age of the patients as well as the family wishes dictated the treatment decisions.
