Background: The formation of pial-pial collateral network aneurysms due to carotid occlusion is a rare neurological phenomenon. This case details a 69-year-old male who developed a pial-pial collateral network aneurysm secondary to left internal carotid artery occlusion, leading to intracranial hemorrhage. Methods: The patient presented with altered consciousness due to left temporal intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, and intraventricular hemorrhage. Cerebral angiography revealed an occluded left internal carotid artery, with superficial temporal artery (STA) and superior orbital artery anastomosis, and extensive pial-pial collaterals from the posterior temporal artery. A 4 mm aneurysm arising from this collateral network was identified. Surgical intervention involved a left temporal craniectomy and excision of the aneurysm, prioritizing the preservation of the STA. N.B., Informed patient consent was obtained in this study. Results: Successful aneurysm removal and preservation of collateral pathways were confirmed by postoperative imaging. The patient exhibited rapid neurological improvement; by postoperative day (POD) one, the patient showed limited response to stimuli. He was extubated by POD4 and discharged on POD27, where he conversed well, was independently ambulatory, and needed minimal to no assistance in activities of daily living. Conclusions: This case highlights the need for careful preoperative planning and intraoperative precision, especially in preserving vital collateral vascular pathways.
