- Abstract
Background: Several de novo intracranial aneurysms have been described related to changes in hemodynamics after therapeutic occlusion of internal carotid artery (ICA); however, de novo aneurysms related to a supraclinoid arteriosclerotic stenosis of the ICA have not been described yet. Authors consider that it is important to bear in mind the possibility of developing an aneurysm in these special conditions. Case Description: The evolution of a 62-year-old patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage, intraparenchymal frontal hematoma with some atypical circumstances that were presented together as well as the treatment he received are shown in this report. We can see this patient suffered a right thalamic hemorrhage at the age of 51 years; this condition was associated to a severe atherosclerotic stenosis of right supraclinoid ICAy. A long term had elapsed since the diagnosis of the stenosis and the discovery of a ruptured ipsilateral de novo supraclinoid internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery (ICA-PcomA) aneurysm. Conclusions: It seems like both conditions: the atherosclerotic supraclinoid ICA which tells of an Samano et at: Ruptured De Novo PcomA Aneurysm Associated with Arteriosclerotic Stenosis of Supraclinoid ICA. Altered vessel environment coupled to a long exposure time, hemodynamic changes, unbalance in the wall sheer stress could all of them lead to the development of the de novo aneurysm.
