Abstract
A 44-year-old man presented with sudden headache and neck stiffness.
Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated subarachnoid haemorrhage. CT and
magnetic resonance (MR) angiography showed the cause to be a ruptured anterior
communicating artery aneurysm. These findings were confirmed by digital
subtraction angiogram and at surgery. The role of imaging in detection of cerebral
aneurysms is briefly discussed.
