Journal of Neurosurgery 20: 1963; 899-902
View Original Source →Abstract
The natural course of cerebral aneurysms, both those observed in subarachnoid haemorrhage and those discovered by chance, has been subject to much discussion. With a view to elucidating further the natural course of cerebral aneurysms, two patients with spontaneously thrombosed aneurysms are reported.
Case Details
Clinical Characteristics
Rupture of a small arteriovenous malformation
Remission Characteristics
Spontaneous recovery of function to the prehemorrhage level occurred and a second air study 3 months after the onset of symptoms revealed virtually complete disappearance of the hematoma.
Treatment & Mechanisms
Proposed Remission Mechanisms
Not discussed
Additional Notes
The location and size of the hematoma were documented by pneumoencephalography 7 weeks after the hemorrhage occurred.
