Br J Neurosurg. 2019 Oct;33(5):597-598. doi: 10.1080/02688697.2017.1406451. Epub 2017 Dec 4.

Abstract

The classical presentation of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm is subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). We present a rare case of a ruptured posterior communicating artery (PcomA) aneurysm presented solely with massive intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in a 53-year-old female. The aneurysm was coiled successfully and the outcome of the patient was excellent.

Keywords: Aneurysm; intraventricular haemorrhage; posterior communicating artery; subarachnoid haemorrhage.
