Abstract

Cerebral aneurysm associated with pituitary adenoma and other endocrine dysfunctions occurred in a 45-year-old female suffering from multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (Wermer''s syndrome). She died of subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to rupture of the aneurysm. Pituitary adenoma and/or other endocrine dysfunctions associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 may be a factor in the aneurysm formation.
