Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm may cover for a long time clinical and radiological signs of a coexistent tumor. We report the delayed diagnosis of glioblastoma in a 65-years old female with recent history of subarachnoid hemorrhage. In the literature are described few similar cases: we briefly discuss the management in the rare occurrence of a double neurosurgical disease.
