Leukomalacia with ruptured saccular aneurysm.

I Ahmed, J Sher

    Archives of Neurology
    |April 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Episodic hypotension after internal carotid artery aneurysm rupture caused cerebral leukomalacia. Reduced cerebral blood flow, worsened by vasospasm, led to white matter necrosis in this patient.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroscience
    • Vascular Neurology

    Background:

    • Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysms can lead to cerebral vasospasm.
    • Cerebral vasospasm significantly compromises cerebral blood flow (CBF).

    Observation:

    • A 42-year-old woman presented with a ruptured saccular ICA aneurysm.
    • She developed extensive cerebral leukomalacia, hemiparesis, and an obtunded mental state.

    Findings:

    • Episodic hypotension was identified as a critical factor contributing to white matter lesions.
    • Reduced CBF due to hypotension exacerbated the effects of vasospasm.
    • This combination led to significant white matter necrosis.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the vulnerability of cerebral white matter to compromised CBF, especially in the context of SAH and vasospasm.
    • Maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion pressure is crucial in managing patients with ruptured aneurysms.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is vital for preventing neurological deficits in cerebrovascular emergencies.
