Subarachnoid Hemorrhage due to Ruptured Spinal Artery Aneurysm: A Diagnostic Challenge.

ABSTRACT: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a solitary spinal aneurysm is extremely rare. Early diagnosis of spinal SAH is challenging, particularly when the spinal cord has not been compressed. We report a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with sudden onset of abdominal pain, followed by severe headache, vomiting, and generalized seizure. Three days after admission to the hospital, he developed progressive paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed spinal SAH with hematoma resulting in cord compression at the level of T9. Diagnostic spinal angiography identified a ruptured aneurysm of a radiculomedullary artery. In conclusion, rupture of a spinal aneurysm should be considered a possible cause of SAH in appropriate clinical settings, and clinicians must be aware of the possibility of cord compression.

A ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysm presenting as tentorial and spinal isolated subdural hemorrhage: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Ruptured intracranial aneurysms are often associated with subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhage. However, the prevalence of subdural hemorrhage post aneurysmal rupture is low and rarely reported in scientific studies. Here, we report an unusual case of a ruptured posterior communicating artery aneurysm resulting in an isolated subdural hematoma located in the tentorial and spinal canal without subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATION:In this case, a 34-year-old woman with no history of trauma or coagulopathy was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma in the tentorium cerebellum tracing to the subdural space of the spinal column. Computed tomography angiography was used to identify the source of the bleeding, which revealed a ruptured left-sided posterior communicating artery saccular aneurysm. The aneurysm was clipped, and the hematoma was evacuated. The patient recovered without any neurological complications. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest that a diagnosis of ruptured intracranial aneurysm should be considered in patients with nontraumatic subdural hematoma. Prompt diagnostic imaging and interventional diagnostic procedures are required to ensure proper management of these patients and to avoid unnecessary complications.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Due to Rupture of an Intracavernous Carotid Artery Aneurysm Coexisting with a Prolactinoma under Cabergoline Treatment.

Project description:We report an unusual case of subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by intraoperative rupture of an intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm coexisting with a prolactinoma. A 58-year-old man presenting with diplopia was found to have a left intracavernous carotid artery aneurysm encased by a suprasellar tumor on magnetic resonance imaging. His serum prolactin level was 5036 ng/mL. Proximal ligation of the left internal carotid artery with a superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis was scheduled. Because the patient's diplopia had deteriorated, we started him on cabergoline at a dose of 0.25 mg once a week. One month after administration of cabergoline, the diplopia was improved to some extent and serum prolactin was decreased to 290 ng/ml. Six weeks after starting the cabergoline, the patient underwent a left frontotemporal craniotomy to treat the aneurysm. When the dura mater was opened, abnormal brain swelling and obvious subarachnoid hemorrhage were observed. Postoperative computed tomography demonstrated a thick subarachnoid hemorrhage. This case suggests that medical therapy for a pituitary adenoma should be started after treatment for a coexisting intracavernous aneurysm is completed.

Cardiac tamponade due to ruptured coronary-pulmonary artery fistula aneurysm: a case report.

Project description:Background:Coronary artery fistulas are rare and most commonly asymptomatic; however, they can become enlarged and rupture in some cases. Case summary:We report a case of a 51-year-old woman who was brought to our hospital unconscious in an ambulance. Cardiac tamponade caused by the rupture of an aneurismal coronary-pulmonary artery fistula (CPAF) was detected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and confirmed by invasive coronary angiography. Due to prompt diagnosis and subsequent surgical intervention, the patient's condition was rapidly improved, and she was discharged from the hospital. Discussion:Coronary-pulmonary artery fistula aneurysm rupture requires rapid diagnosis and treatment, and thus, in cases with cardiac tamponade and coronary aneurysm, CPAF aneurysm rupture should be considered.

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

Project description: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 tomographic angiography showed an irregular-shaped aneurysm-like cavity extending from the left middle cerebral artery into the hematoma. Intraoperative observation revealed that the aneurysm itself was small and the lesion observed on computed tomography was a pseudoaneurysm that had formed in the hematoma. Pathologic examination of the aneurysm demonstrated that there was a thrombus at its tip. In this report, radiologic characteristics of three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography and etiology of a pseudoaneurysm in an intracerebral hematoma due to aneurysm rupture are discussed.

Unexpected -[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation in subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an aneurysm rupture.

Project description:A 79-year-old Asian man with paranasal cancer underwent 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) to evaluate metastatic lesions. Unexpected FDG accumulation during subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an aneurysm rupture visualized with FDG-PET/CT. It is rare to encounter life-threatening diseases in FDG-PET/CT because FDG-PET/CT is usually scheduled beforehand. However, an immediate response is warranted in unexpected conditions. Physicians who perform FDG-PET/CT should be familiar with life-threatening FDG-PET findings.

Ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm presenting with duodenal obstruction.

Project description:Visceral aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal arcades are rare. Although these aneurysms are often asymptomatic and identified incidentally on cross-sectional imaging, aneurysm rupture presents significant morbidity. Ruptured pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysms typically present with abdominal pain, hemorrhagic shock, or gastrointestinal bleeding. A 72-year-old male presented with nausea and vomiting and was found to have imaging evidence of duodenal obstruction. This was due to a duodenal intramural hematoma caused by a ruptured submucosal aneurysm supplied by a branch of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery in the presence of median arcuate ligament compression of the celiac artery. This was subsequently treated with endovascular embolization with clinical improvement in duodenal obstruction. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of a ruptured pancreaticoduodenal arcade aneurysm.

Superficial temporal artery-superior cerebellar artery bypass and proximal occlusion through anterior petrosal approach for subarachnoid hemorrhage due to basilar artery dissection.

Project description:BackgroundSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to rupture of basilar artery dissection (BAD) is extremely rare and often has a poor prognosis. Since ruptured BAD has high rate of rebleeding and mortality, treatment to prevent rerupture is mandatory in the acute phase. However, to date, no optimal treatment has been established which satisfies secure prevention of rerupture and ischemia simultaneously. Herein, we report a case of SAH due to BAD treated with proximal occlusion of basilar artery with superficial temporal artery (STA)-superior cerebellar artery (SCA) bypass, preventing rebleeding securely and ensuring adequate blood flow in the upper basilar region.Case descriptionA 48-year-old male presenting with headache and altered mental status was found to have SAH and BAD. To prevent rerupture, proximal occlusion of basilar artery with STA-SCA bypass using anterior transpetrosal approach was performed. The postoperative course was relatively good and there is no evidence of recurrent arterial dissection.ConclusionProximal occlusion of the basilar artery combined with STA-SCA bypass was successful in preventing rerupture of BAD and ensuring blood flow in the upper basilar region. Although there is controversy regarding acute treatment for ruptured BAD, direct proximal occlusion with sufficient revascularization using bypass skull base technique may be one of the optimal treatments even in this era of endovascular treatment.

Clinical case of successful treatment of internal carotid artery dissection during aneurysm embolization in acute period of subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Project description:Artery dissection during embolization of an intracranial aneurysm is not a frequent complication. In most cases, the tactics of treatment are limited to the appointment of anticoagulants or balloon angioplasty. We present a clinical case of successful treatment of a woman of 47 years. Dissection of the internal carotid artery occurred during aneurysm embolization in the acute period of subarachnoid hemorrhage and required coronary stent implantation. The absence in the long-term period of signs of restenosis or mechanical damage to the coronary stent in the installed position indicates the possibility of implanting it in the indicated position in urgent situations. The clinical significance of the described case consists in combining sequentially rarely occurring events one after another.
