[Subdural haematoma from aneurysm without concurrent subarachnoid haemorrhage].
A case of acute subdural haematoma from an intracranial aneurysm is presented. Although the patient presented with isolated subdural haematoma, the clinical signs were consistent with the classical signs of subarachnoid haemorrhage including thunderclap headache. An aneurysm of the anterior cerebral artery was the origin of the bleeding, and no subarachnoid blood was identified during operation. Rupture of a sacculate aneurysm should be suspected in patients with non-traumatic acute subdural haematoma.
