INTRODUCTION This report describes a rare case of a distal middle cerebral artery (dMCA) aneurysm. PRESENTATION OF CASE That developed a right intracerebral haematoma and subarachnoid haemorrhage. It was treated by surgical exploration and clipping via pterional approach. DISCUSSION Clinical findings and surgical approaches of dMCA aneurysm are different from proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms. Microneurosurgical clipping is the most effective treatment of dMCA aneurysm.
