title: Psychic stress as a trigger of the spontaneous development and rupture of an aneurysm? A case report.
abstract: We present angiographical and neuropathological data of a 51-year-old woman, who primarily suffered from a recurrent glomus temporale tumour on the left side and who finally died after a spontaneous rupture of a distal basilar aneurysm which developed during angiography. As a second important finding the existence of a vasospasm at the time of the rupture is also confirmed.
