The spontaneous disappearance and reappearance of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm is generally assumed to be a rare phenomenon although the actual incidence is unknown. Among 39 consecutive cases of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), 33 were studied by three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (CTA) within 6 h after the onset of SAH, followed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) within 24 h after the ictus. Of those patients, one, a 58-year-old woman, had a saccular aneurysm at the distal anterior cerebral artery; the aneurysm was clearly demonstrated by CTA 2.5 h after the SAH onset, but was not shown by a subsequent DSA performed 8.5 h after the ictus. A follow-up DSA detected the neck of aneurysm on day 11, and the whole aneurysm was visualized on day 19. The observations in this particular case suggest that the spontaneous disappearance of a ruptured cerebral aneurysm may occur during the ultra-early stage of SAH and that reappearance may follow during the next few weeks. The patient did not suffer complications such as vasospasm or systemic hypotension nor was she treated with antifibrinolytic agents. The aneurysmal shape and the surrounding clot are considered as putative factors possibly related to the intermittent appearance of the aneurysm.
