Abstract
Recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the early period following successful clipping of a cerebral aneurysm is unusual. The authors report a unique case of distal basilar artery dissection and fatal SAH on the 6th day postoperatively. It is concluded that this complication was related to vascular trauma inflicted by repositioning the aneurysm clips during a seemingly uneventful procedure for a basilar artery tip aneurysm.
