BackgroundCases of multiple cerebral aneurysms are rare. In this case report, we describe a male patient with multiple, enlarging, and ruptured aneurysms. The two aneurysms were believed to be dissecting aneurysms.Case descriptionA 47-year-old man presented with left limb paralysis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cerebral infarction. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) identified an aneurysm and occlusion in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA). The MCA aneurysm was remarkably enlarged on the eighth day after cerebral ischemia and was treated using endovascular techniques. Two weeks after the endovascular treatment, the patient experienced a severe headache and became comatose, and a subarachnoid re-hemorrhage was confirmed. The fourth DSA revealed an enlarging dissecting aneurysm in the posterior cerebral artery. The patient died without further treatment.ConclusionSome dissecting aneurysms rapidly enlarge and rupture.
