Abstract
Introduction: The formation of de novo intracranial aneurysms (DNIAs) often occurs months or years after the initial identification of an intracranial aneurysm. Consensus on surveillance after surgery remains elusive.
Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman presented with a recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by a rapidly expanding de novo basilar tip aneurysm, which developed and ruptured within 6 days of a previous SAH due to the rupture of a posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Both SAH incidents were successfully treated with microsurgical clipping. A computed tomography angiography at a 1-year follow-up did not detect any DNIAs.
Conclusion: DNIAs can form within days after primary surgery. Therefore, conducting early postoperative angiography is crucial to detect and manage DNIAs and prevent SAH, especially in high-risk cases. In addition, since DNIAs are more prone to rupture, early clinical intervention is recommended.
期刊介绍:
An international, peer-reviewed journal of therapeutics and risk management, focusing on concise rapid reporting of clinical studies on the processes involved in the maintenance of vascular health; the monitoring, prevention, and treatment of vascular disease and its sequelae; and the involvement of metabolic disorders, particularly diabetes. In addition, the journal will also seek to define drug usage in terms of ultimate uptake and acceptance by the patient and healthcare professional.
