The incidence of pediatric aneurysms is rare compared to that of the adults. The natural history and the course of these aneurysms were not well understood. We present a rare case of spontaneously thrombosed basillar tip nongiant aneurysm in a 9-year-old male child who presented with symptoms of mass effect and subsequently followed up by imaging over a period of 1 year.
