Unexpected subarachnoid hemorrhage with a fatal outcome was seen in two patients in intensive care in association with trauma and an intracranial inflammatory abscess. The cause of SAH was disclosed at autopsy: traumatic and bacterial aneurysms of the basilar artery respectively. In the reported cases the symptoms of SAH did not suggest an origin.
