Résumé
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is defined as the presence of blood in the subarachnoid space and in the cisternaes of the base. Most subarachnoid hemorrhages are caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms. Sometimes these aneurysms rupture due to facts such as childbirth or defecation and bleeding occurs. The initial test performed when there is a suspicion of SAH is a head computed tomography scan (CT scan). If the CT result is normal, a lumbar puncture should be carried out to detect whether or not there is xanthochromia. A descriptive study was carried out, of the case study type, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. We sought to describe the clinical case of a 42-year-old patient who came to the primary care center for a very intense left hemicranial headache located in the occipital area with a sudden onset after defecation. After several tests, the patient was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. The definitive diagnostic test was lumbar puncture. Faced with an acute headache of such sudden onset after exertion, we should always suspect a brain hemorrhagic lesion. We must never rule out a hemorrhagic process with a normal CT scan, since other tests are sometimes necessary to establish the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
