Abstract
- Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH) can be almost immediately fatal. However, sudden death due to tSAH caused by delayed aneurysmal rupture is very rare sequela of mild head trauma. We experienced a death case of a 47-year-old woman who had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage 3 days after head trauma. Delayed death after any kinds of trauma is important to forensic and legal aspects. Herein we report a case of fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by delayed rupture of traumatic aneurysm.
