Erotomania preceding an aneurysmal subarachnid hemorrhage: is there an association?
Clear symptoms of erotomania were observed in a woman with past history of high blood pressure who, later, presented a slight subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured anterior cerebral communicating artery aneurysm. The possibility that erotomania, in this case, may be related to the patient's organic brain damage is discussed.
