Abstract

Dissecting aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) are known to cause cerebral infarcts in younger people and can also cause subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or intracranial hemorrhage. Bleeding caused by an isolated dissecting aneurysm of the MCA is relatively rare. We report the case of a young woman with SAH that occurred subsequent to a ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the MCA which resolved spontaneously as demonstrated by angiography.

중뇌동맥에서 발생하는 박리성동맥류의 파열은 매우 드물게 발생하며 뇌경색, 지주막하 출혈 또는 뇌내출혈을 일으킬 수 있다. 저자들은 25세 여자 환자에서 외상 없이 발생한 지주막하 출혈로 발현된 중대뇌동맥의 파열박리성동맥류의 자연 소실을 경험하여 이를 보고하고자 한다.
