Internal carotid artery (ICA) blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) have fragile aneurysm walls, poorly defined necks and located at the supraclinoid ICA with remarkable tendency of preoperative rebleeding, premature rupture during surgery and enlargement of aneurysmal dome in the acute stage, so surgical treatment is extremely challenging. The authors describe the clinical course of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by ruptured BBAs and emphasize the usefulness of parent artery occlusion (PAO) with or without extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass in the acute SAH period. Methods. We analyzed the clinical records of 18 consecutive patients (8 male and 8 female) with a mean age of 56 years (range 29-88 years) treated between January 2005 and December 2016 .
