Abstract

A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our department due to headache. Brain computed tomography (CT) indicated subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and emergency angiography showed dissecting aneurysm involving the left A1 segment. We performed trapping of dissecting A1 aneurysm and the postoperative course was uneventful. We present a case of dissecting aneurysm in the anterior cerebral artery with spontaneous SAH which was treated by early surgery and resulted in clinically good prognosis.
