Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Secondary to Forceful Sneeze

Abstract EN

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a relatively less common but important neurological condition comprising 5% of all the cerebrovascular accidents.

In most populations the reported incidence is 6-7 per 100,000 person-years and one-third of survivors become dependent.

It is a serious but potentially treatable cause of neurological morbidity.

Multiple authors have identified the most unusual novel associations and triggers of subarachnoid bleeds over the past decade.

We herein report a rare case of subarachnoid hemorrhage leading to focal neurological deficit in a middle aged man secondary to forceful sneeze.
