Abstract
- Patients with achondroplasia manifest various neurologic symptoms including megaencephaly, hydrocephalus, and progressive myelopathy or radiculopathy secondary to spinal stenosis. However, only anecdotal postmortem reports proved ruptured aneurysm or vascular malformation as a source of intracranial hemorrhage. We herein report a case of a 26-year-old woman with achondroplasia who underwent uneventful surgical treatment for the aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this literature, we review the pathophysiologic mechanism and emphasize the necessity of considering the possibility of sudden mental deterioration in achondroplastic patient.
