A rare persistent primitive hypoglossal artery aneurysm caused subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a woman. Surgical clipping resulted in a favorable outcome, highlighting successful treatment for this uncommon vascular condition.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Neurology
  • Cerebrovascular Diseases
  • Medical Case Reports

Background:

  • Persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) is a rare congenital anomaly where the hypoglossal artery fails to regress during fetal development.
  • Aneurysms arising from PPHA are exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old woman presented with sudden severe headache and vomiting, indicative of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
  • Cranial CT revealed a high-density lesion suggesting SAH; angiography confirmed a PPHA aneurysm at the posterior inferior cerebellar artery junction, with hypoplastic vertebral arteries.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention via right suboccipital craniectomy with neck clipping was performed successfully.
  • The patient experienced an uneventful postoperative recovery, with full ambulation and no neurological deficits, aside from mild postoperative hoarseness.

Implications:

  • This case adds to the limited literature on PPHA aneurysms, emphasizing the importance of considering rare vascular anomalies in the differential diagnosis of SAH.
  • Successful surgical management underscores the potential for favorable outcomes in patients with ruptured PPHA aneurysms, despite their rarity.
