Notes:

Aneurysms are extremely rare in children. They may be associated with a syndrome (Turner syndrome) or related to trauma (dissection) or infection (mycotic aneurysm).
"In children with atypical intracranial hemorrhage (out of proportion to the history of trauma), MRI may detect an existing vascular malformation, show a hemorrhagic neoplasm, or suggest child abuse (e.g., interhemispheric subdural hematoma, hemorrhages of different age)."
