title: Remote hypertensive intracerebral haematoma following clipping of an intracranial aneurysm.
abstract: We report a case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with an aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Immediately following clipping of this aneurysm, she had a spontaneous hypertensive bleed in the contralateral hemisphere. Although very unusual, hypertensive episodes following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage must carry a risk of such an intracranial event.
