AbstractAcute spontaneous subdural haematoma (SDH) is rarely associated with rupture of intracranial saccular aneurysm. We report our experience with four cases of non-traumatic SDHs secondary to rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and discuss the diagnosis and management of this condition. We retrospectively reviewed of four cases of acute SDH due to cerebral aneurysm rupture confirmed by cerebral angiography and surgery. Patients were evaluated using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and subarachnoid grade of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) and outcome with the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Of the 232 patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) treated between 1993 and 2002, only four patients (1.72%) presented SDH due to aneurysmal rupture. The SAH grade on admission was grade IV in one patient and V in the other three. In all cases the aneurysm was located in the posterior communicating artery. Spontaneous acute SDH secondary to aneurysm rupture has been rarely reported. We suggested that timely SDH removal and aneurysmal clipping surgery should be performed in such patients, including those in poor neurological condition.Copyright 2004 Springer-Verlag
