Abstract

Intracranial aneurysm presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage is a common presentation. But chronic subdural hematoma with underlying aneurysm is seen uncommonly. We herewith present a patient who presented with headache. MRI and MRA brain picked up chronic subdural hematoma with anterior communicating artery aneurysm. Patient underwent single sitting craniotomy and clipping of aneurysm with contralateral burr holes and evacuation of subdural hematoma. Patient had a remarkable postoperative recovery and is doing well. This uncommon association is seen quite infrequently seen and our case is one of them.

Keywords: Subdural hematoma, aneurysm.
