Abstract
A 64-year-old female presented with hypertensive thalamic hemorrhage concurrent with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured aneurysm manifesting as sudden onset of right hemiparesis followed by severe headache. The aneurysm was located in the basilar artery at the origin of the superior cerebellar artery, remote from the thalamic hematoma. The aneurysm was clipped 3 weeks after SAH. She was discharged with slight right hemiparesis. The method and timing of surgery for such patients depend on hematoma size, location of the aneurysm and hematoma, and neurological status. The intracerebral hemorrhage remote from the ruptured aneurysm should be treated initially if necessary, and the aneurysm clipped after the brain swelling has reduced.
