An unruptured aneurysm was incidentally found in the right middle cerebral artery in a 67-year-old woman. During an attempt to turn the temporalis muscle for surgical clipping, systolic blood pressure suddenly increased. After opening the dura mater, we found a subarachnoid hemorrhage and severe brain swelling. We promptly expanded the craniotomy area to reach the aneurysm while pulling part of the frontal lobe to apply a clip. We retrospectively analyzed the aneurysm using computational fluid dynamics. Our analysis suggests that the rupture of the aneurysm occurred at a location with very low wall shear stress.
