Intracerebral hemorrhage due to ruptured venous aneurysm. Report of two cases.

Documented rupture of venous aneurysms associated with arteriovenous fistulas is uncommon, and reports of the formation and rupture of venous aneurysms that are not associated with fistulas are distinctly rare. One case is presented in which spontaneous rupture of a saccular aneurysm on a vessel draining an arteriovenous fistula produced an intracerebral hematoma. A second case in described in which fatal intracerebral hemorrhage was produced by a traumatic aneurysm of an otherwise normal superficial cerebral vein.

Chronic subdural hematoma presenting as transient neurologic deficits.

Four patients with symptoms of transient neurological dysfunction were subsequently found to have chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH). The frequency of these episodes diminished significantly after evacuation of the hematoma. The effects of vascular compromise due to the CSDH and to cardiovascular events, more commonly implicated in transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) may be additive. The inclusion of a computerized axial tomographic (CAT) scan in the evaluation of some patients with presumed TIAs is recommended.
