Hemorragia subaracnóidea perimesencefálica não-aneurismática: apresentação de caso e revisão de literatura

Nonaneurysmatic perimesencephalic hemorrhage: a case report and review of the literature

Resumos

Os autores apresentam um caso de hemorragia subaracnóidea perimesencefálica não aneurismática em um paciente masculino de 42 anos, com excelente evolução clínica. É realizada revisão da literatura, sendo apresentados aspectos clínicos e neurorradiológicos desta entidade benigna.

A 42 year-old man with subarachnoid hemorrhage was admitted in our Service (Hunt & Hess grade II). CT-scan disclosed predominantly perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Digital subtraction angiographic study did not disclose either cerebral aneurysm or any other potential site of intracranial bleeding. The evolution was uneventful. A DSA was repeated one month later and was negative. Four months later, the patient was asymptomatic. The authors review the literature and emphasize the importance in recognizing this benign clinical form of nonaneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
