Abstract

Vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage may alter intracranial hemodynamics. We report a case which showed significant size reduction of an unruptured intracranial aneurysm after resolution of vasospasm. This case may suggest that aneurysm size can be affected by vasospasm, which is presumably related to changes in hemodynamics or spontaneous thrombosis.

지주막하출혈 후 발생한 혈관경련수축은 대뇌 혈류역학 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 우리는 지주막하출혈과 동반된 혈관경련 수축이 치료된 후 크기 감소를 보였던 비파열성 뇌동맥류의 증례를 보고한다. 혈관경련수축으로 인한 혈류역학 변화 또는 자연적인 혈전발생이 대뇌동맥류의 크기 변화를 초래했을 것으로 생각된다.
