Deskripsi
We depict the rare case of a patient with aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage previously treated with deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease. Initial CT scans showed a Fisher grade 4 subarachnoid hemorrhage with lead displacement due to midline-shift. CT angiogram revealed a supra-ophthalmic aneurysm of the internal carotid artery. The patient subsequently underwent clipping of the aneurysm and decompressive hemicraniecomy.
