AB SUMMARY: Characterization of paraclinoid aneurysms may be difficult because of the complexity of anatomic structures involved, and differentiation between intradural and extradural lesions is crucial. We report a case of a patient with a unique presentation of a paraclinoid aneurysm with intrasellar hemorrhage in which the presence of intrasellar blood and the relationship of the paraclinoid aneurysmal neck and sac to the dural rings were elegantly demonstrated on MR imaging and were critical in choosing the target lesion for treatment.
