Background: While recent randomized clinical trials have shown the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy for acute large vessel anterior cerebral occlusion, cases in patients with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were excluded from the study. Case Description: A 58-year-old man presented with a SAH as a result of a ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm. Coil embolization was performed, and a right intracranial angiography showed remnants of an aneurysmal neck. However, the following angiography also revealed a thromboembolic complication that occurred in the same territory as the ruptured aneurysm. The patient underwent a rescue mechanical thrombectomy under the working projection. We deployed a retrieval stent without covering the aneurysmal neck. The occluded vessel was recanalized without any hemorrhagic complication. Due to minimal intracerebral infarction, the patient had good outcomes. Conclusion: Mechanical thrombectomy is a useful option to retrieve a clot from an occluded intracranial vessel located near a ruptured aneurysm. Approaching the clot at the working projection is important to ensure safety in the setting of a ruptured aneurysm.

Abstract Intracerebral hematoma and intraventricular hemorrhage can significantly worsen the neurological condition of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm. They also significantly affect the outcome of this patiens. We present a case in which early surgery had a significant effect on the outcome of this patient. Early decompression of the brain and subsequent clipping of the aneurysm as presented in our case has lead to a successful outcome.

✓ Giant intracranial aneurysms often pose difficult management issues. Such aneurysms may not be amenable to direct surgical attack because of their size, location, or lack of a clear aneurysmal neck. In such cases, a combination of strategies may provide a means of proximal aneurysm occlusion and distal cerebral revascularization. The authors report the successful treatment of a giant (186.8-ml) serpentine aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) in a 14-year-old boy. The aneurysm was managed in a two-stage procedure in which the MCA branches distal to the aneurysm were anastomosed first with branches of the left superficial temporal artery. After the bypass procedure, direct occlusion of the MCA was performed at the proximal base of the aneurysm at its site of dilatation. The patient had no intraoperative or postoperative complications and was intact neurologically 6 months following the procedures.

Abstract A case of ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm associated with neurogenic pulmonary edema is presented. It is suggested that this association should not be accepted as a “taboo” for radical intervention followed by a proper management of ventilation with positive end-expiratory pressure to maintain the anesthetic condition. Cardiorespiratory control is essential in cases of pulmonary edema with ruptured aneurysm. Decompression and evacuation of blood clot surrounding the hypothalamus could subdue the hyperadrenosympathetic discharge that may cause neurogenic pulmonary edema.

We describe a patient with a small ruptured azygos anterior cerebral artery aneurysm located at a non-bifurcation distal site on the artery treated successfully with simple coiling.
