Department of Neurosurgery, Yokokura Hospital, Fukuoka.

A 54-year-old female presented with acute subdural hematoma secondary to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. She was admitted with acute onset of severe headache, nausea, and vomiting. There was no past history of head trauma. Computed tomography demonstrated a left subdural hematoma with extension along the tentorium in the absence of subarachnoid or intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Angiography revealed an aneurysm of the internal carotid-posterior communicating artery which was oriented posterolaterally. Uneventful clipping was performed and the patient was discharged from hospital without neurological deficits. The possibility of aneurysmal subdural hematoma should be considered in the absence of trauma.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.

D006408 Hematoma, Subdural Accumulation of blood in the SUBDURAL SPACE between the DURA MATER and the arachnoidal layer of the MENINGES. This condition primarily occurs over the surface of a CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE, but may develop in the spinal canal (HEMATOMA, SUBDURAL, SPINAL). Subdural hematoma can be classified as the acute or the chronic form, with immediate or delayed symptom onset, respectively. Symptoms may include loss of consciousness, severe HEADACHE, and deteriorating mental status.
