Five patients with kissing aneurysms (adherent internal carotid-posterior communicating artery and ipsilateral internal carotid-anterior choroidal artery aneurysms) are reported. There was female predominance and the subarachnoid hemorrhage was commonly due to rupture of the proximal posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Despite the demonstration of angiographic cleavage, the two aneurysms adhere to each other, which makes surgical dissection difficult. Meticulous dissection of the aneurysmal necks and preservation of the blood flow in the anterior choroidal artery are of vital importance.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D013345 Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Bleeding into the intracranial or spinal SUBARACHNOID SPACE, most resulting from INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSM rupture. It can occur after traumatic injuries (SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE, TRAUMATIC).
