A Case of a Ruptured Microaneurysm at the Tip of the Basilar Artery With Right Abducens Nerve Palsy at the Time of the Initial Rupture and Rerupture During an Outpatient Follow-Up
The presentation of abducens nerve palsy after each occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is rare. Herein, we report the case of a patient with a ruptured microaneurysm at the tip of the basilar artery who presented with right abducens nerve palsy at the time of the initial rupture and reruptu...

description | The presentation of abducens nerve palsy after each occurrence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is rare. Herein, we report the case of a patient with a ruptured microaneurysm at the tip of the basilar artery who presented with right abducens nerve palsy at the time of the initial rupture and rerupture during an outpatient follow-up. A 52-year-old woman developed SAH with right abducens nerve palsy, which was treated with coil embolization. One year after the initial SAH, there was a relapse of the SAH and paresis of the right abducent nerve palsy. This may have been caused by the location of the abducens nerve in relation to the surrounding structures, which were susceptible to the effects of hematoma or intracranial pressure fluctuations. Stent-assisted coil embolization is an effective treatment for regrowth that appears after endovascular therapy of microaneurysms. |
