Abstract

n patients with intracranial aneurism, the headache is often similar to the headache in subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) and is called as sentinel headache. Sentinel headache is sudden at onset and severe, which occurs days before the rupture of aneurism. A 27 years old female, with 30- weeks pregnant, presented with a sudden onset severe headache and vomiting . In the past medical history of the patient, there were no abnormal features. She had admitted to a policlinic for a sudden onset and severe headache fifteen days ago. It had been thought that she had a migraine headache. On admission, the Glasgow Coma Scale score was 14 and the cranial computed tomography was consistent with SAH findings. When the patient presented with immediate and severe headache, it shouldn't be forgotten that patient's headache could be a sentinel headache. Although small number of aneurism cases results in SAH, because of the high morbidity and mortality of SAH, cranial tomography and if it is normal lomber punction, magnetic resonance angiography and catheter angiography should be carried out respectively in patients with sentinel headache.

Özet

İntrakranial anevrizmalı hastalarda subaraknoid kanama (SAK) gelişmeden önce görülen ani ve şiddetli SAK ağrısına benzer baş ağrısı, sentinel baş ağrısı olarak bilinir. Yirmi yedi yaşında, 30 haftalık gebe, ani başlangıçlı şiddetli baş ağrısı ve kusma yakınması ile acil servisimize başvurdu. Özgeçmişinde özellik bulunmayan hastanın 15 gün önce ani başlayan şiddetli baş ağrısı nedeni ile başka bir kliniğe başvurmuş ve migren tanısı almıştı. Başvuru sırasında olgunun Glaskow Koma Skoru (GKS) 14'tü ve çekilen bilgisayarlı beyin tomografisi (BBT) SAK ile uyumluydu. Ani ve şiddetli başlayan baş ağrısı ile başvuran hastalarda sentinel baş ağrısı mutlaka akla getirilmelidir. İntrakraniyal anevrizmalı olguların az bir kısmı SAK ile sonuçlansa da, SAK'daki yüksek mortalite ve morbidite oranından dolayı, sentinel baş ağrılı olgularda BBT, eğer BBT normal ise sırası ile lomber ponksiyon (LP), manyetik rezonans anjiografi (MRA) ve kateter anjiografi uygulamaları düşünülmelidir.
