In a single-patient case report Fuentes et al. from The Medical City, Pasig City published in Cureus to report a rare case of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) from a ruptured pseudoaneurysm secondary to anterior cerebral artery (ACA-A1 segment) dissection, and its successful treatment with stent-assisted coiling.
