RESUMO
Intracranial aneurysms arise in 1-2% of the population and usually present as hemorrhagic strokes. Spontaneous thrombosis of a ruptured intracranial aneurysm occurs in 1-3% and most commonly in giant aneurysms, with complete thrombosis in just 13-20% of the cases. Thrombosis of smaller aneurysms is rare. Here we present a case of a patient who presented with a ruptured intracranial aneurysm that subsequently thrombosed, discovering a neighboring de-novo aneurysm during follow-up. We hypothesized that after thrombosis, the hemodynamic characteristics that contributed to the formation of the first aneurysm were replicated.
