Abstract

The rupture of a cerebral aneurysm is a serious illness that can lead to a disturbing prognosis if it is not diagnosed in time. Cerebral aneurysm in patients with chronic migraine and headache due to analgesic abuse is rare, but its appearance leads to diagnostic confusion. I present the case of an elderly adult patient, smoker, multi-consul- tant for chronic migraine attacks, with a change in the pattern of her headache, which required neuroimaging and endovascular therapy for a saccular aneurysm in the right anterior cerebral artery without complications. In conclusion, the role of the clinic and neuroimaging are the key to diagnose a possible brain aneurysm.
