Spontaneous thrombosis of cerebral aneurysms demonstrated by angiography is infrequent. This article describes angiographically documented spontaneous thrombosis of an intracranial aneurysm at the posterior cerebral-posterior communicating artery junction in a 40-year-old woman. The initial angiogram done on 16th day after an episode of subarachnoid haemorrhage showed a medium sized aneurysm. Subsequent angiograms done on 30th, 40th and 60th day failed to demonstrate the aneurysm. The factors leading to this rare event remain obscure. 相似文献

True mycotic aneurysms are extremely rare cerebrovascular lesions with a dismal prognosis. They mostly follow fungal meningitis or septicaemia and herald their presence with the development of subarachnoid haemorrhage. The authors report an extremely rare occurrence of bilateral anterior cerebral artery aneurysms caused by mucormycosis. The infection was diagnosed after investigation of prolonged fever following transsphenoidal surgery. The aneurysm was diagnosed after a subarachnoid haemorrhage and the patient finally died. The present case highlights an atypical presentation of fungal infection that can perplex the best of clinicians and thus delay diagnosis. As subarachnoid haemorrhage due to true mycotic aneurysmal rupture is uniformly associated with a fatal outcome, the authors speculate that a high index of suspicion should be maintained when a neurosurgical patient is predisposed to fungal infection. This approach, combined with the empirical institution of antifungal drugs, provides the only chance of survival. 相似文献

A 73-year-old male with known hypertension presented with subarachnoid haemorrhage due to a ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery. Angiography showed a dilatation with proximal and distal narrowing of the right middle cerebral artery. Conservative treatment resulted in almost complete resolution of the angiographic abnormalities 6 months later. Dissecting aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery with haemorrhagic manifestations are extremely rare and are not generally recognized as a cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage. If angiography fails to demonstrate a saccular aneurysm in a patient with subarachnoid haemorrhage, a ruptured dissecting aneurysm may be a possible cause. Repeat angiography should be performed for definitive diagnosis. More knowledge about the natural course is essential before determining whether surgical treatment is always necessary. 相似文献

Twelve patients in a series of 22 with giant intracranial aneurysms demonstrated neuroradiological features of partial or total spontaneous intra-aneurysmal thrombosis. The presence of this intra-aneurysmal clot significantly altered the computed tomographic appearance of the giant aneurysm. Massive intra-aneurysmal thrombosis did not protect against subarachnoid haemorrhage and the likelihood of rupture of a clot containing giant aneurysm was not significantly different from that of a non-thrombosed giant aneurysm. Although parent artery occlusion from a thrombosed giant aneurysm, and massive aneurysmal thrombosis leading to the formation of giant serpentine aneurysm were documented, these are rare epiphenomena. The risk of embolisation from a partially thrombosed giant aneurysm, which was documented in one case, would appear to be greater than that from a non-thrombosed giant aneurysm. The findings in this series, and a review of literature, suggest that the presence of intra-aneurysmal clot in giant intracranial aneurysms has little prognostic significance and does not alter the management or outcome after treatment. 相似文献

We present a patient who had a median anterior cerebral artery fenestration with a congenital azygous infra-optic anterior cerebral artery. This rare combination of abnormalities was an incidental finding in a patient who suffered spontaneous subarachnoid haemorrhage from a ruptured anterior cerebral artery aneurysm. 相似文献

An azygos anterior cerebral artery is an anatomical variant in which the anterior communicating artery is absent and both the A1 segments unite to form a single A2 segment of the artery. This anatomical variant may be associated with holoprosencephaly and may predispose to aneurysm formation, however the association of such an anomaly with an aneurysm is rare. When associated with an aneurysm, it poses management difficulties due to the single distal anterior cerebral artery. Most of the reported aneurysms with such an anomaly are saccular and located in the distal part of the artery. We report a patient with a wide neck saccular multilobed aneurysm who presented after a grade 3 subarachnoid haemorrhage. A right pterional craniotomy and clipping of the aneurysm was performed following cerebral angiography. The mechanism of formation and difficulties in management of such an aneurysm is discussed. 相似文献

Thirty patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage due to rupture of a carotid aneurysm were treated by ligation of the common carotid artery. Two patients died as a result of the procedure, two patients developed persisting hemisphere deficit. Eight of the ten patients who developed cerebral ischemia after the operation were operated within ten days after the bleeding. At present out aim is to guide the patient safely through the first ten days after his haemorrhage and perform ligation at the end of the second week. After a follow up period of 1-8 years recurrent haemorrhage did not occur. Common carotid ligation, preferably with control of carotid artery end pressure, cerebral blood-flow and EEG is considered to be a valuable method to treat ruptured intracranial carotid aneurysm. 相似文献

Stroke in pregnancy and the puerperium 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Recent studies suggest that the risk of cerebral infarction is increased during the puerperium but not during pregnancy itself.
Most of the known causes of ischaemic stroke in the young have been reported during pregnancy. In most of these conditions,
it is uncertain whether pregnancy is coincidental or plays a role in the occurrence of stroke. Eclampsia is the main pregnancy-specific
cause, which may be associated with focal neurological deficits of sudden onset, consistent with a clinical diagnosis of stroke.
However, the precise pathogenesis of these stroke-like focal deficits remains poorly understood. The two other pregnancy-specific
conditions (choriocarcinoma and amniotic fluid embolism) are rarely responsible for focal cerebral ischaemia. In a significant
number of patients, the cause of the stroke remains undetermined, despite an extensive aetiological investigation. Whether
a hypercoagulable state and vessel wall changes associated with pregnancy may play a role in the occurrence of these otherwise
unexplained ischaemic strokes remains unknown. The occurrence of cerebral venous thrombosis is clearly linked to the puerperal
state, suggesting a direct role of the latter. However, cerebral venous thrombosis during pregnancy or the puerperium has
been related to various aetiologies, stressing the need for an aetiological study, particularly when the thrombosis occurs
during pregnancy. Pregnancy may increase the risk of subarachnoid haemorrhage, The most common cause is rupture of an arterial
aneurysm. Although this is a controversial issue, the increased tendency of an aneurysm to bleed with advancing gestational
age suggests that haemodynamic, hormonal or other physiological changes of pregnancy may play a role in aneurysmal rupture.
The classic notion that rupture of an arterial aneurysm occurs more frequently during labour has not been confirmed. Most
authors agree that surgical management after subarachnoid haemorrhage in pregnancy should be the same as that in the non-pregnant
state. Data specifically devoted to intraparenchymal haemorrhage in pregnancy are scarce. Pregnancy and in particular the
puerperium seem to be associated with an increased risk of intracerebral haemorrhage. The most common causes are eclampsia
and ruptured vascular malformations. Whether pregnancy increases the risk of rupture of an arteriovenous malformation is controversial.

The incidence of intracranial aneurysms in childhood is rare, especially in infancy. Spontaneous thrombosis of a cerebral aneurysm in a child is very rare, particularly in a non-giant aneurysm. We report a case of a 1-month-old girl with a distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm which disappeared spontaneously after subarachnoid hemorrhage and reappeared 6 months later. Surgical resection of the aneurysm was performed and she discharged uneventfully 10 days later. Histological examination revealed an aneurysm with a fibrous muscular layer, absence of the internal elastic lamina and partial hypertrophy of the intimal layer. Though the pathogenesis of this aneurysm is uncertain, two hypotheses are discussed. 相似文献

The problem of cerebral arteriospasm following rupture of intracranial aneurysm is analysed comprehensively in the clinical, angiographic, electroencephalographic and, particularly, neurosurgical aspects in a group of 51 cases. Seventy-six patients without arteriospasm after aneurysm rupture served as controls. It was found that cerebral arteriospasm caused deterioration of the preoperative condition of the patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and influenced unfavourably the results of surgical treatment of patients with intracranial aneurysm. 相似文献

A 20-year-old man was involved in a fight while under the influence of alcohol. He subsequently developed an intracerebral haemorrhage in the putamen with a minimal subarachnoid haemorrhage and died. An autopsy revealed a ruptured giant saccular aneurysm of the middle cerebral artery. We believe that the blunt head injury caused a rupture of the pre-existing giant saccular aneurysm either through the force transmitted from the blow, or by a possible transient elevation of the blood pressure secondary to the excitement of the fight, or by a combination of both factors. 相似文献

The authors describe a case of a 59 year-old Chinese lady with a history of spontaneous left caroticocavernous fistula in 1988 treated by left internal carotid artery clipping and muscle embolisation. She subsequently presented with a subarachnoid haemorrhage in November 1997 secondary to rupture of an unclippable giant right internal carotid artery aneurysm. This was treated satisfactorily with bilateral cervical carotid artery to proximal middle cerebral artery bypass followed by balloon occlusion. Postoperatively, the patient has no neurological deficit and CT angiogram shows good patency of both grafts 6 months after surgery. 相似文献

The performance of transcranial Doppler in the detection of anterior cerebral artery vasospasm and vasospasm in patients after subarachnoid haemorrhage was analysed. Transcranial Doppler and cerebral angiography were performed within the same 24 hours on each of 41 patients with acute subarachnoid haemorrhage. Sensitivity and specificity of transcranial Doppler to classify middle cerebral arteries, anterior cerebral arteries, and patients with angiographic vasospasm were determined at mean velocities of 120 and 140 cm/s. Accuracy of transcranial Doppler was better at 140 than at 120 cm/s. For the middle cerebral artery, sensitivity was 86%, specificity 98%. For the anterior cerebral artery, sensitivity was 13%, specificity 100%. Among all patients, sensitivity was 45%, specificity 96%. Among patients with anterior communicating artery aneurysms, sensitivity was 14%, specificity 90%. Therefore, transcranial Doppler accurately differentiates between middle cerebral arteries with and without vasospasm on angiography, but has a very low sensitivity for detecting anterior cerebral artery vasospasm and vasospasm in patients with anterior communicating artery aneurysms. Since vasospasm may involve anterior cerebral arteries while sparing middle cerebral arteries, especially after rupture of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm, caution should be exercised in using negative transcranial Doppler results to make treatment decisions based on the assumed absence of vasospasm. 相似文献

A rare case of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage from newly developed cerebral aneurysm in glioblastoma patient is presented. A 57-year-old man was presented with headache and memory impairment. On the magnetic resonance image and the magnetic resonance angiography, a large enhancing mass was found at right frontal subcortex and intracranial aneurysm was not found. The mass was removed subtotally and revealed as glioblastoma. He took concurrent PCV chemotherapy and radiation therapy, but the mass recurred one month later after radiotherapy. He was then treated with temozolomide for 7 cycles. Three months after the completion of temozolomide therapy, he suffered from a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a rupture of a small de novo aneurysm at distal anterior cerebral artery. He underwent an aneurysm clipping and discharged without neurologic complication. 相似文献

A case of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage with associated haemorrhagic infarction of a growth hormone secreting pituitary macroadenoma is presented. The subarachnoid haemorrhage was not identifiable on CT, but was apparent on MRI. Angiography revealed a 7mm right posterior communicating aneurysm, a 3mm left A1 segment anterior cerebral aneurysm, and vasospasm. Surgery was performed through a right pterional/subfrontal approach, clipping both aneurysms and debulking the tumour. The left A1 aneurysm was the site of subarachnoid haemorrhage. There was evidence of haemorrhagic infarction of the pituitary tumour. Although rupture of an aneurysm into a pituitary tumour has been previously reported, this is the first case reported of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage with coexisting pituitary apoplexy where the aneurysm had not bled directly into the pituitary tumour. The literature regarding the association between pituitary tumours and aneurysm is reviewed. 相似文献

Fatal basilar vasculopathy complicating bacterial meningitis. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
BACKGROUND: Bacterial meningitis complicated by thrombosis, vasculitis, and aneurysm formation affecting both small and distal branches of cerebral vessels has been well described. Involvement of major cerebral vessels is rare and has only been documented late in the course of disease. CASE DESCRIPTION: We describe the clinical and pathological findings in a young man who presented with pontine infarction as an early manifestation of bacterial meningitis. Streptococcus milleri, an unusual organism in this setting, was cultured. Despite improvement with antibiotic therapy, the patient experienced fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A ruptured inflammatory aneurysm of the basilar artery, evidence of residual meningitis and vasculitis, and basilar thrombosis associated with pontine infarction were found. CONCLUSIONS: Bacterial meningitis, which may be associated with severe vasculopathy of the basilar artery and lead to cerebral infarction, aneurysm formation, and subarachnoid hemorrhage, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of these conditions. The role of S. milleri in meningitis and its vascular complications merits further study. 相似文献

Two pairs of sisters with identical cerebral aneurysms are reported. In the first family, a sibship of three, the two female members presented with subarachnoid haemorrhages from identical, left internal carotid artery bifurcation aneurysms. The subarachnoid haemorrhage occurred in one of the sisters at the age of 20 and at the age of 50 in the other. The remaining healthy sibling, a 40-year-old male, underwent elective cerebral angiography, which was normal. The other sibship, two 48-year-old female identical twins, had identical right middle cerebral artery aneurysms. The first twin became symptomatic after subarachnoid haemorrhage. The aneurysm in her identical twin was identified by screening angiography. There were no verified subarachnoid haemorrhages among the parents and grandparents in either family. No systemic anomalies were identified and collagen type 3 deficiencies were excluded. The identical location of these familial aneurysms, particularly in view of the relatively rare location in the first family, suggests that local factors in the developing vascular tree may play a role in the pathogenesis of saccular aneurysms in addition to systemic anomalies affecting the general structure of cerebral vascular walls. 相似文献

Subarachnoid haemorrhage following rupture of an ophthalmic artery aneurysm presenting as traumatic brain injury 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Head trauma may provoke subarachnoid haemorrhage. The question sometimes arises whether in patients with trauma and subarachnoid haemorrhage the latter is of traumatic or aneurysmal origin. We present a 49-year-old patient who fell from a truck, struck his head and was unconscious immediately. On the brain computed tomography (CT) scan subarachnoid haemorrhage was present, initially diagnosed as of traumatic origin. Four-vessel angiography revealed rupture of a left ophthalmic artery aneurysm. We review the literature and give recommendations for angiography in patients with trauma and subarachnoid haemorrhage. 相似文献

Simultaneous microsurgical and endovascular management of multiple cerebral aneurysms in acute subarachnoid haemorrhage. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Most aneurysms can be effectively managed using endovascular coiling or microsurgical clipping, but in an acute subarachnoid haemorrhage where there are multiple aneurysms identified, a sequential multimodal approach may prove more beneficial. This report involves a 31-year-old man who presented with sudden onset of severe headache and photophobia. A computed tomography brain scan revealed a diffuse grade II subarachnoid haemorrhagic pattern, and four-vessel angiography revealed two aneurysms: a right middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysm measuring 12 x 8 mm and a 4-mm basilar artery aneurysm associated with a fenestration at the confluence of the vertebral arteries. It was not possible to determine which aneurysm or aneurysms were responsible for the haemorrhage using the customary criteria. The patient underwent sequential endovascular coiling of the vertebrobasilar aneurysm without delay, followed immediately by microsurgical clipping of the right middle cerebral artery aneurysm, under a single anaesthetic. The postoperative course was uneventful. This method is a treatment option for acute subarachnoid haemorrhage where there are multiple aneurysms. It is a logical progression of management that could be employed at any experienced neurovascular centre; the employment of a sequential multimodal approach from the integration of these techniques is beneficial to the patient because it decreases morbidity and mortality. 相似文献
