The Feria Journal of Medicine: Radiographic Challenge

A 66-year-old woman is admitted with vague abdominal pain and vomiting. ¿What is your diagnose?

Did you remember it...

Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms (also known as miliary aneurysms or microaneurysms) are aneurysms of the brain vasculature which occur in small blood vessels (less than 300 micrometre diameter). They should not be confused with saccular aneurysms (a.k.a. berry aneurysms), which occur in larger-sized blood vessels. Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms are most often located in the lenticulostriate vessels of the basal ganglia and are associated with chronic hypertension. Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms are a common cause of stroke.
