Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a frequent neurological emergency.
  • SAH secondary to vasculitis is an uncommon presentation.
  • Vertebral artery aneurysms are rare causes of SAH.

Observation:

  • A young woman presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
  • The hemorrhage originated from a vertebral artery aneurysm.
  • The patient exhibited signs of advanced renal impairment.

Findings:

  • The case details an unusual etiology of SAH.
  • The co-occurrence of vertebral artery aneurysm, SAH, and renal impairment is noteworthy.
  • Diagnostic workup confirmed the aneurysm as the source of bleeding.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare causes of SAH, even in young patients.
  • The association with renal impairment suggests potential underlying systemic conditions.
  • Further research may elucidate the link between renal disease and vascular anomalies.
