AB  - Objectives: The objective of this case report is to describe a rare presentation of corkscrew cerebral angiopathy presenting as subarachnoid hemorrhage.Methods: We present a young woman who presented with a thunderclap headache, found to have a non aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.Results: Cerebral angiogram revealed corkscrew angiopathy in medium sized vessels as well as multiple micro-occlusions with collateralization. No intracranial aneurysm was detected. Extensive work up for vasculitis and genetic causes for vasculopathy was unrevealing. The patient had no neurologic deficits and her symptoms resolved.Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of corkscrew angiopathy presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
