Popis: The endovascular approach has become the standard treatment for ruptured aneurysms during the vasospasm risk period following subarachnoid hemorrhage; however, it may be disadvantageous under certain conditions. We report a patient with a ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm with severe vasospasm and thrombosis within the aneurysm immediately after angiography. Emergent operative open thrombectomy of the intra-aneurysmal thrombus restored blood flow to the ischemic penumbra territory demonstrated by single photon emission CT scan and diffusion-weighted MRI.
