It can follow rupture of different aneurysms specially located in anterior incisural space; the most frequently encountered location is the PcoA aneurysms as demonstrated in the present case.

ACs account for 1% of all intracranial space-occupying lesions. ACs are a potential risk factor for subdural haematoma in all age groups following a traumatic head in...

متن کاملManagement of Chronic Subdural Haematoma in a Case of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare devastating complication of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), mostly presenting as intraparenchymal or subarachnoid haemorrhage. Isolated chronic subdural haematoma (SDH) is still very rare and the optimal management is unsettled. Spontaneous resolution of chronic SDH in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is possible. We report a case of...
