Abstract:

Intracranial aneurysm is pathological dilatation of the intracranial arteries with the risk of rupture, because the wall is not strong enough to withstand hemodynamic pressure. The current treatment of intracranial aneurysms is mainly divided into endovascular treatment and craniotomy clipping treatment. However, the complications after treatment are still an important part that cannot be ignored, such as postoperative vasospasm, intracranial infection, pulmonary infection, cerebral infarction, cerebral hematoma, and secondary hemorrhage. And there are many complications after the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. This review reports a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured left posterior communicating aneurysm that eventually died of cardiac and respiratory failure. It is concluded from the analysis of this disease case that in the acute stage of intracranial aneurysm rupture, the patient's general condition should be evaluated before surgery to examine whether the patient can benefit from surgery, prevent adverse reactions as soon as possible, truly improve the quality of life of the patient and prolong the survival of the patient.
