چکیده

A 48-year-old woman experienced sudden onset of severe headache. Computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hematoma in the right frontal lobe. Digital subtraction angiography revealed three aneurysms in the anterior communicating artery (AcomA), the right posterior communicating artery (PcomA), and the right middle cerebral artery. The AcomA aneurysm was treated with endovascular coiling. However, her oculomotor nerve palsy was aggravated after the procedure. Embolization of the right PcomA aneurysm was conducted immediately and her oculomotor nerve palsy recovered completely 3 months later. Simultaneous presentation of multiple aneurysms with separate symptoms is rare. We speculate that the progressive oculomotor nerve palsy was caused by tiny enlargement or morphological change of the aneurysm caused by elevated blood pressure and pulsatile effect after SAH.

Simultaneous presentation of two cerebral arterial aneurysms.

A case of subarachnoid haemorrhage due to rupture of a middle cerebral artery aneurysm followed by immediate enlargement of a carotid intra-cavernous aneurysm is described. The enlargement of the second aneurysm was due to a rise in blood pressure caused by the subarachnoid haemorrhage. Although multiple aneurysms are common, this phenomenon is very rare and the reasons for this are discussed.
