Abstract：
:This report portrays our pitfall in the initial diagnosis of an intracranial arterial dissection that we misinterpreted as a saccular aneurysm. Intracranial arterial dissections presenting with convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage are rare, thus being easily mistaken with mild traumatic head injuries and therefore preventing transfer to a tertiary hospital. Even in those cases where the dissection is suspected and the patient is transferred to the appropriate facility for a diagnostic angiogram, misdiagnosis is not infrequent. The typical radiographic signs such as the double lumen or "pearl and string" are scarcely present in the diagnostic angiogram. Thrombus within the dissected segment can be mistaken by vasospasm and may even reveal fake images of saccular aneurysms, thus prompting inadequate endovascular or surgical treatment. The case reported here illustrates all these likely pitfalls in the diagnosis and management of intracranial arterial dissections.
