Abstract

Background: We report the first case of a spontaneous ruptured anterior cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient affected by meningiomatosis. Case Description: A 71-year-old female patient was admitted to our emergency department after acute loss of consciousness. An urgent head CT scan showed third ventricle hemorrhage and a giant extra-axial tumor with associated peritumoral bleeding. A second, smaller, and right-sided tumor was detected at the posterior third of the superior sagittal sinus, indicative of meningiomatosis diagnosis. A following CT angiogram showed an hypervascularized lesion at the right frontal convexity and a ruptured A2 pseudoaneurysm. Tumor removal was performed through right frontal craniotomy. After the initial debulking and removal of the peritumoral hemorrhage, the A2 segment associated with the bleeding pseudoaneurysm was surgically coagulated. Conclusion: We report the unique occurrence of two relatively rare neurological entities: meningiomatosis and intracranial pseudoaneurysm. In our experience, their simultaneous and acute presentation is associated to poor prognosis.
