Abstract

We present a rare series of two cases of spontaneous intracranial aneurysmal hemorrhage associated with acute subdural hematoma. One patient was having ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm and acute subdural hematoma with no evidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage and the other patient presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage with bleeding in subdural, intraparenchymal, and intraventricular location with rupture of posterior communicating artery aneurysm. In this report, we are describing the pathophysiology and radiological features of subdural hematoma with aneurysm bleed.

Keywords

intracranial aneurysm - subarachnoid hemorrhage - subdural hematoma - intraventricular bleed - intraparenchymal hematoma
