ABSTRACT
The authors present two cases of ruptured intercraial aneurysm s associated with nearly total destruction of kidney function due to polycystic kindney in one aged 35 years and the other aged 53 years. One patient had a aneurysm on anterior communicating artery and the other had three aneurysms located in cavenous and bifurcated portions of internal carotid artery, and anterior communicating artery. They were successfully treated by a direct surgical approach. We stress surgical management in a state of good consciousness regardless of poor kidney function, because the risk of early death by rebleeding is seemed to be higher than that by renal failure or others.
Key Words: Ruptured intracranial aneurysm; Polycystic kidney
