Abstract | OBJECTIVE: CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 40-year-old male presented with a SAH with normal cerebral angiography. The initial magnetic resonance image revealed a lesion in the right insula thought to be resolving hemorrhage. Subsequent images, however, revealed the mass to be enlarging. INTERVENTION: CONCLUSION: An affirmation is made that patients experiencing 'angiographically-negative' SAH should undergo MRI, occasionally on a serial basis, to exclude other etiologies for hemorrhage, including neoplasia.
