    Multiple brain aneurysms were linked to primary hyperaldosteronism in a young man with hypertension. Surgical management, including aneurysm ligation and arterial bypass, led to an excellent outcome.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Endocrinology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Multiple intracranial aneurysms are rare but associated with certain conditions like polycystic kidney disease and brain tumors.
    • Primary hyperaldosteronism, a condition of excess aldosterone production, is typically linked to adrenal tumors or hyperplasia.

    Observation:

    • An 18-year-old male presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe arterial hypertension.
    • Diagnostic workup revealed multiple intracranial aneurysms and primary hyperaldosteronism secondary to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia.

    Findings:

    • This case highlights a previously unreported association between multiple intracranial aneurysms and primary hyperaldosteronism due to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia.
    • The patient underwent complex surgical management involving extra-intracranial arterial bypass and ligation of three intracranial aneurysms.

    Implications:

    • This association expands the known spectrum of conditions linked to intracranial aneurysms.
    • Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are crucial for favorable outcomes in such complex cases.
    • Further research may elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms connecting adrenal disorders and cerebral vasculature.
