Abstract:
Simultaneous occurrence of remote intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage is very rare. We report on a case of concurrent hypertensive ICH at the left thalamus and rupture of an intracranial aneurysm at the bifurcation of the single A2 segment of the anterior cerebral artery in a 64-year-old woman, which was clipped previously, with review of the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case report demonstrating bleeding of previously clipped aneurysm with simultaneous hypertensive ICH. Hypertensive crisis following ICH seems to have provoked rupture of the residual aneurysm.
