Hakimah Mohammad Sallehuddin, Hoo Fan Kee, Tan Yi Jun.




Abstract

We present a case of a young lady who had subarachnoid hemorrhage and was initially misdiagnosed as acute sinusitis.

A high index of suspicion remains the cornerstone of diagnosis.

Key words: Subarachnoid hemorrhage, SAH, MCA aneurysm, hypertension.
