Two locations, two hits; Two faces of the sword co-existence of coronary and cerebral arterial aneurysms

Her ne kadar ayrı ayrı gözlemlenmeleri çok nadir olmasa da, koroner ve serebral arteryel anevrizmaların birlikteliği nadir bir görülen durumdur. ST elevasyonlu miyokard infarktüsü ve serebrovasküler olay ile başvuran bir hastada tespit edilen koroner ve serebral arteryel anevrizmaların birlikteliğini sunmak istiyoruz.

İki Farklı lokasyon ve tutulum: Bıçağın çift yüzü koroner ve serebral arteryel anevrizmaların birlikteliği

Co-existence of coronary and cerebral aneurysms is rare, though coronary and cerebral aneurysms are not infrequent. We present a case with this co-existence of coronary and cerebral aneurysms presented with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular event.
