A 38-year-old non-smoker man presented with a ruptured aneurysm one month after clipping of a previous aneurysm. He was first admitted because of sudden onset of severe headache. Brain computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemorrhage. Angiography showed an aneurysm of the left anterior choroidal artery which was surgically clipped. Two weeks later, he was discharged without neurological deficits. One month after the initial hemorrhage, he was readmitted to the emergency room with stuporous mentality. Repeat angiography showed two aneurysms of the A 2 portion of the left anterior cerebral artery which were not demonstrated by the initial angiography. The diagnosis was de novo aneurysms. The larger aneurysm was clipped and the other was coated. De novo aneurysm should be suspected if a patient with a previously clipped aneurysm complains of typical headache or any suggestive symptoms or signs of cranial nerve dysfunction, especially if known risk factors are present.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
