Intracranial dissecting aneurysms are rare, however they have been reported more frequently in recent years and are recognized as a cause of stroke. Spontaneous dissecting aneurysms (SDAs) of the intracranial carotid circulation are less common than those of the vertebrobasilar circulation. SDAs of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occurring in younger people most often present as occlusive syndrome with ischemia, although subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can also occur. We report a case of SAH that occurred subsequent to a dissecting aneurysm in the M2 portion of the right MCA which resolved spontaneously to a complete remission as demonstrated by angiography.
