ABSTRACT
Two Cases of ruptured bacterial aneurysms involving the distal branches of the middle cerebral artery associated with an intracerebral hematoma are reported. Both patients presented with a medical history of valvular heart disease and subacute bacterial endocarditis. The mortality of ruptured intracranial bacterial aneurysms has been reported to be very. High and a proper treatment strategy for such aneurysms still remains controversial. Most authors have recommended aggressive antimicrobial therapy, serial antiographic follow-up studies, and surgery for aneurysm's that do not resolve or enlarge even after medical treatment. Both of the reported patients were treated with antibiotics and underwent surgical evacuation for huge-sized intracerebral hematomas, and in one patient, the aneurysm was completely resected.
