Abstract

The rupture of a cerebral aneurysm may hide the clinical and radiological signs of a coexisting tumor. The aim of this study is to warn about the risks of such delayed diagnoses, describing the case of a patient with a subarachnoid hemorrhage who masked -for several months- the presence of a glioblastoma. In the literature are reported just few similar cases: We here discuss the management in the occurrence of two contemporary severe neurosurgical diseases.
