Most of such cases harbor functional tumors and anterior circulation aneurysms, with very rare cases of posterior circulation aneurysms. In this report, we present a case of subarachnoidal hemorrhage due to rupture of an undetected basilar apex aneurysm during microscopic transsphenoidal surgery for a nonf...
