“…In patients with ruptured Acom aneurysms, the symptoms are usually related to SAH, such as headache, vomiting, and other symptoms of SAH. [4,8,12] Disinhibition as one of the possible presentations has been reported. Winckler et al reported a case of a patient who had an athymhormic syndrome where there is a loss of interest for anterior preoccupations, loss of subjective feeling, mainly when dealing with a pleasant or unpleasant situation (anhedonia), and loss of spontaneity.…”

“…[14] e right lower limb weakness was documented when Patankar and Vaja reported an unusual presentation of RGH. [12] In addition, recurrent headaches with seizure episodes were reported as a potential presentation by Kareem et al [8] PROGNOSIS e isolated clinical prognosis of RGH cannot be specified based on the current available evidence. However, the general overview based the available reports, there is a noticeable good prognosis trend from all the described etiologies underlying RGH.…”

Background: Rectus gyrus hematoma (RGH) is a localized intracerebral hemorrhage involving the most medial part of the orbital surface of the frontal lobe. It can be an imaging finding in the setting of a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm; however, other differentials are rarely reported in the literature. In this paper, we opt to present for the 1st time an overview of RGH regarding its history, anatomical correlation, and related neuroimaging with particular emphasis on the potential differential diagnosis for underlying pathologies. Methods: A literature review was conducted in PubMed, Medline, and Google scholar databases to review the existing literature highlighting the history, pertinent anatomy, and clinical characteristics of RGH. Results: The literature review yielded papers targeting the RGH neither as a radiological sign nor as a surgical correlate to the cerebrovascular lesion. We used the available indirectly related articles to formulate an overview to serve the aim of this paper and to highlight the potential value of studying the RGH. Conclusion: The RGH may represent an overlooked radiological finding that has potential significance through its relation to a set of vascular lesions affecting the brain. Further studies into the topic are needed to expand the utility of this sign.
