Intracranial aneurysm rupture causes subarachnoid hemorrhage in 80% of the cases,
and it may be associated with intracerebral hemorrhage and/or intraventricular
hemorrhage (IVH) in 34% and 17% of the patients, respectively. However, on rare
occasions, aneurysm rupturemay be present causing isolate intracerebral hemorrhage
or IVH without subarachnoid hemorrhage.
We describe an unusual case of an anterior communicating aneurysm rupture
presented with IVH, without subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Although isolated IVH is rare, aneurysm rupture is a possible condition. Patients
presenting with head computed tomography revealing IVH without subarachnoid
hemorrhage should be promptly investigated with contrasted image exam to identify
and treat possible causes, even in the absence of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
