Cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) can be resulted from by a wide variety of causes. A cSAH probably associated with Behcet's disease is herein reported for the first time.
A 58-year-old male with stable Behcet's disease evaluated for sudden onset headache. Emergency computed tomography disclosed cSAH in the left frontal sulci. A ruptured middle cerebral artery cortical branch aneurysm was found. Surprisingly, this aneurysm obliterated completely after diagnostic catheter angiography.
This case highlights three important points; First, non-mycotic (non-infectious) distal cerebral artery aneurysms may rarely cause cSAH. Second, distal dissecting aneurysms may rarely become obliterated after diagnostic cerebral angiography. Third, such aneurysms may be one of the long-term consequences of vascular inflammation in Behçet's disease.
皮质下蛛网膜下腔出血(cSAH)可由多种原因引起。本文首次报道了一例可能与白塞病相关的cSAH。
一名患有稳定型白塞病的58岁男性因突发头痛接受评估。急诊计算机断层扫描显示左额叶脑沟有cSAH。发现一个大脑中动脉皮质分支动脉瘤破裂。令人惊讶的是,该动脉瘤在诊断性导管血管造影术后完全闭塞。
本病例突出了三个要点;第一,非霉菌性(非感染性)大脑远端动脉瘤可能很少导致cSAH。第二,诊断性脑血管造影术后远端夹层动脉瘤可能很少会闭塞。第三,此类动脉瘤可能是白塞病血管炎症的长期后果之一。
