Acute Subdural Hematoma due to Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm

Management of Patients Presenting with Acute Subdural Hematoma due to Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm

Acute subdural hematoma is a rare presentation of ruptured aneurysms. The rarity of the disease makes it difficult to establish reliable clinical guidelines. Many patients present comatose and differential diagnosis is complicated due to aneurysm rupture results in or mimics traumatic brain injury. Fast decision-making is required to treat this life-threatening condition. Determining initial di...

Interhemispheric Subdural Hematoma from Ruptured Aneurysm: Case Report

Ruptured Mycotic Aneurysm of the Distal Middle Cerebral Artery Manifesting as Subacute Subdural Hematoma

Mycotic aneurysms are rare inflammatory neurovascular lesions. Ruptured mycotic aneurysm manifesting as subdural hematoma is extremely rare. A 72-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with headache and drowsiness. Computer tomography (CT) of brain and CT angiography revealed subdural hematoma and an aneurysm located at the M4 segment of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Cerebr...

Nontraumatic Pure Acute Subdural Hematoma Caused by a Ruptured Cortical Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm: Case Report and Literature Review

Nontraumatic or "spontaneous" acute subdural hematoma (SDH) is rare, and "pure" acute SDH without subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to aneurysmal rupture is extremely rare. We report a case of nontraumatic pure acute SDH caused by the rupture of a cortical middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm. A 43-year-old man with no antecedents, except hypertension, presented to the emergency department wit...

Pseudoaneurysm Formation in Intracerebral Hematoma due to Ruptured Middle Cerebral Artery Aneurysm.

We report the case of a ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm that showed pseudoaneurysm formation in an intracerebral hematoma. A 61-year-old man who was taking warfarin complained of dysarthria. Three days later, he was found unconscious, and computed tomography on admission showed subarachnoid hemorrhage and an intracerebral hematoma in the left temporal lobe. Three-dimensional computed t...
