A 40-year-old female, presented with complaints of severe headache since past five days. She is a known case of controlled hypertension. Multislice computed tomography (CT) angiography-brain arteries was done which revealed abnormal high attenuation lesions of blood Hounsfield units (HU), seen in the basal cisterns, suprasellar cisterns, right sylvian fissure and few cortical sulci of right cerebral hemisphere were suggestive of subarachnoid haemorrhage. It also revealed right Middle cerebral artery aneurysm measuring 1.13 x 1.02cm. Surgical management through aneurysm coiling and embolization was done.
