Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a medical emergency. Berry aneurysm rupture is the second most common cause following trauma. Diagnosis is often challenging. Neurogenic heart syndrome often complicates subarachnoid hemorrhage. A concomitant pheochromocytoma can be deadly causing sudden cardiac arrhythmia. Here, we describe a case of subarachnoid hemorrh...

Background
The annual incidence of the intracranial dissecting aneurysms is about 1 to 1.5 per 100,000. This is a well-known cause of stroke and subarachnoid hemorrhage in young and middle-aged patients (Santos-Franco et al. in Neurosurg Rev, 2008. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10143-008-0124-x ). Various surgical and endovascular treatment methods have...
BACKGROUND
Subarachnoid hemorrhages secondary to intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are events of high mortality. These neurological vascular diseases arise from local and systemic inflammation that culminates in vessel wall changes. They may also have a possible relationship with chronic viral infections, such as human herpesvirus (HHV), and especially...
As the incidental diagnosis of unruptured intracranial aneurysms has been increasing, several scores were developed to predict risk of rupture and growth to guide the management choice. We retrospectively applied these scores to a multicenter series of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage to test whether they would have predicted the risk of bleed...
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) carry the risk of rupture, which will lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage, which has a high mortality and morbidity risk. However, the treatment of IA's carries mortality and morbidity risks too. There are well-known risk factors for the rupture of IAs like age, size, and site. However, choosing patients with unruptured IAs...
Background and Aims: It has recently emerged the concept of “obesity paradox,” a term used to describe an inverse association between obesity and clinical outcomes in cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture.

Background
Head and neck paragangliomas are extradural masses rarely associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Case
This case, for the first time, reports a fatal subarachnoid haemorrhage due to the rupture of a high-flow aneurysm located on an intradural artery feeding a jugulotympanic paraganglioma. Interestingly, this aneurysm was not present on an angiogram performed 7 years before, during the pre-surgical embolisation of the tumour.
Conclusions
To avoid fatal consequences, a preventive investigation of potential aneurysms located on intradural vessels feeding paragangliomas may be suggested.
