The case of a patient who had spontaneous cure of an intracranial saccular aneurysm, documented by angiography, is reported. This occurred in a 41-year-old patient, admitted four months after recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an angiographically verified supraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm. The relevant literature is reviewed, and the possible mechanism of spontaneous aneurysmal thrombosis is briefly discussed. It is concluded that repeating angiography is not without merit in patients with already documented cerebral aneurysms who are referred for surgical treatment some time after a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Abstract
The case of a patient who had spontaneous cure of an intracranial saccular aneurysm, documented by angiography, is reported. This occurred in a 41-year-old patient, admitted four months after recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an angiographically verified supraclinoid internal carotid artery aneurysm. The relevant literature is reviewed, and the possible mechanism of spontaneous aneurysmal thrombosis is briefly discussed. It is concluded that repeating angiography is not without merit in patients with already documented cerebral aneurysms who are referred for surgical treatment some time after a subarachnoid hemorrhage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
