Abstract:
:The source of bleeding remains obscure in most cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with a negative angiogram. From January 1, 1989, to July 1, 1993, 40 patients were admitted to the Massachusetts General Hospital with angiogram-negative SAH; 9 of these patients underwent surgical exploration. In seven of these explorations, an arterial source of the hemorrhage was discovered. These arterial sources included three anterior communicating artery complex lesions, two middle cerebral artery lesions, one internal carotid artery aneurysm arising at the origin of the posterior communicating artery, and one vertebral/posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. Three of these seven lesions had small aneurysmal sacs, but the other four were microaneurysms too small to accept a surgical clip. No source of hemorrhage could be found during surgery on one patient with a perimesencephalic pattern of blood. Two of the four patients with a microaneurysmal source of hemorrhage had two episodes of SAH. We propose that microaneurysms are the source of a significant percentage of nonperimesencephalic angiogram-negative SAH and suggest that these lesions may represent a forme fruste of saccular aneurysms. These findings lead us to propose a protocol for the management of angiogram-negative SAH based on the distribution of blood as seen on the patient's first computed tomogram.
