Successful treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in polyarteritis nodosa with immunosuppressive therapy: illustrative case
This case suggests that enhanced immunosuppressive therapy may be effective in treating both extracranial and intracranial vascular lesions in PN. In patients with PN, early and serial head imaging may be beneficial. The appearance of de novo aneurysms in the context of disease progression may indicate the need for more aggressive treatment. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25617.
