Challenges in identifying ruptured aneurysms in cases of multiple aneurysms: Utilizing MRI with contrast for surgical planning—A case report

Accurately identifying the ruptured aneurysm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and multiple aneurysms is critical to prevent rebleeding and optimize outcomes. Vessel wall MRI with contrast can aid in pinpointing the culprit aneurysm, informing a tailored surgical or endovascular management strategy for these complex cases. In patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and multiple intracranial aneurysms, MRI with contrast and DSA are crucial for identifying the ruptured aneurysm, guiding a shift from endovascular to microsurgical clipping. Successful single-session treatment and absence of postsurgical deficits highlight the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach. Further research on optimal strategies is needed.
