Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 1994 Mar;34(3):172-5. doi: 10.2176/nmc.34.172.

Abstract

A 57-year-old male suffered a fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured infundibular widening of the internal carotid-posterior communicating artery junction, confirmed by autopsy. Infundibular widening is a preaneurysmal or aneurysmal lesion and indicates angiographic follow-up and control of blood pressure when identified.
