Abstract
Traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH) can be almost immediately fatal. However, sudden death due to tSAH caused by delayed aneurysmal rupture is very rare sequela of mild head trauma. We experienced a death case of a 47-year-old woman who had subarachnoid hemorrhage and intraventricular hemorrhage 3 days after head trauma. Delayed death after any kinds of trauma is important to forensic and legal aspects. Herein we report a case of fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by delayed rupture of traumatic aneurysm.
Key Words: trauma, aneurysm, delayed rupture, subarachnoid hemorrhage
