Concurrent intracranial and intraabdominal aneurysms

J Neurosurg Sci. 1988 Jul-Sep;32(3):121-2.

Abstract

A 68-year-old woman with a subarachnoid hemorrhage was operated on for an anterior communicating artery aneurysm demonstrated by angiography. A month later she developed intestinal hemorrhage and a selective angiography showed multiple aneurysmatic dilatations, which were compatible with angiodysplasia, to be the cause of the intestinal bleeding. This association of intracranial and extracranial aneurysms is infrequent.
