Background: Unilateral abducens nerve palsy (ANP) caused by ruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm have been rarely reported. Most of the ANP reports due to spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are bilateral paralysis. Facilitate cerebrospinal (CSF) circulation through microsurgery could help solve this neurological deficit after SAH. Usually that is committed direct compression oculomotor, for example a posterior segment internal carotid aneurysm. However, generally not compression.
