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.

We present a patient with severe middle cerebral artery occlusion who received an intra-arterial infusion of autologous bone marrow stem cells combined with Cerebrolysin IV. The patient was evaluated before and after treatment using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, the Medical Research Council Muscle Scale, Modified Brunnstrom Classification, Barthel Index and modified Rankin Scale. After the therapy, the patient showed good outcome with functional as well as neurological improvements especially in terms of functional motor recovery without any side effects. Further controlled studies are needed to find possible side effects and establish net efficacy.
