Abstract
This bacterium seems to be more and more frequent in North America and Europe, according to the current literature. Moreover, cases of mycotic extracranial aneurysm were reported. Here we report the first case of intracranial giant infectious aneurysm in an adult patient, without any endocarditis or vasculitis. This new entity could be the cause of a bacterial graft on an asymptomatic giant preexisting intracranial aneurysm or a consequence of campylobacteriosis.
