AB A  45-year-old  man  with  a  history  of  hypertension  and  tobacco  abuse  presents  to  the  emergency  department  following  the  onset  of  a  severe  holocranial  headache.  He  denies  nausea,  vomiting,  head  trauma,  and  previous  headaches.  His  temperature  is  38°C,  heart  rate  110  bpm,  blood  pressure  150/87  mm  Hg.  His  left  pupil  is  dilated  and  nonreactive  to  light.  A  computed  tomographic  (CT)  brain  scan  shows  diffuse  subarachnoid  hemorrhage.  Catheter  cerebral  arteriography  demonstrates  a  posterior  communicating  artery  aneurysm  (Figure  20-1).
