Abstract

The abrupt onset of acute, high-intensity headache, unlike any experienced before, can be an urgent medical condition, whichrequires attention. A 32-year-old female patient developed thunderclap headache attacks had applied with increasing intensityand frequency since 1 week. She had visited the emergency department several times, and cranial computed tomographyfindings were normal. On the last presentation, neurological examination showed complete oculomotor nerve palsy on theleft. Brain magnetic resonance imaging together with intracranial brain angiography revealed left posterior communicatinganeurysm compressing the ipsilateral oculomotor nerve, with no evidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient wastreated with endovascular balloon-assisted coil embolization of the aneurysm under digital subtraction angiography. As aresult, the headache resolved soon after the intervention. Furthermore, complete ptosis recovered by the third month.Although thunderclap headache has rarely been attributed to an enlarging unruptured cerebral aneurysm, early recognitionand treatment are rather important as it may indicate a high risk of rupture.

Özet

Hastaların yaşamlarındaki en şiddetli başağrısı olarak tarifledikleri, ani olarak gelişen başağrısı oldukça dikkat edilmesi gereken bir durumdur. 32 yaşındaki kadın hasta, son bir haftadır sıklığı ve şiddeti gittikçe artan gökgürültüsü başağrısı atakları nedeniyle başvurdu. Son bir haftada birkaç kez acil başvurduğunu ve çekilen beyin tomografisinin normal olarak raporlandığını ifade etti. Son başvurusunda nörolojik muayenesinde, sol komplet okülomotor sinir felci saptandı. Beyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ve anjiografisinde solda posterior komunikan arter anevrizmasının ipsilateral okülomotor sinire bası yaptığı görüldü. Subaraknoid hemoraji izlenmedi. Anevrizma tedavisine yönelik endovasküler balon aracılı koil embolizasyonu yapıldı. Girişimsel işlemden hemen sonra başağrıları düzeldi. Tedavinin üçüncü ayında ise komplet ptoz düzeldi. Gökgürültüsü başağrısı, kanamamış anevrizmalarda çok sık beklenen bir durum değildir ancak gelişmekte olan bir rüptürün habercisi olabilir, bu sebeple erken tanı ve tedavi oldukça önemlidir.
