Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Cupping therapy is an alternative treatment that uses a small glass cup to suck the skin with a needle and has been used to manage skin problems and pain. However, serious complications have been reported. Herein, we describe a case of intracranial mycotic aneurysm rupture after cupping therapy.
UNASSIGNED: A 25-year-old male patient presented with a headache and fever after cupping therapy for atopic dermatitis. He was diagnosed with infective endocarditis, and antibiotic therapy was initiated. After that, he suddenly lost consciousness, and head imaging revealed a cerebral hemorrhage due to a ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysm. He underwent craniotomy, which was successful, and he was transferred to a rehabilitation center with a modified Rankin scale score of 2 at three months post-stroke.
UNASSIGNED: This case serves as a reminder of life-threatening infectious complication risks after cupping therapy. A patient who has a compromised skin barrier may experience serious adverse effects, especially when cupping is performed without implementing suitable infection prevention measures.

摘要：
■拔罐疗法是一种替代治疗方法，它使用小玻璃杯用针吸皮肤，并已用于管理皮肤问题和疼痛。然而,据报道有严重的并发症。在这里，我们描述了一个拔罐治疗后颅内霉菌性动脉瘤破裂的病例。
■一名25岁男性患者在治疗特应性皮炎拔罐后出现头痛和发热。他被诊断出患有感染性心内膜炎,并开始抗生素治疗。之后,他突然失去了知觉,头部成像显示颅内霉菌性动脉瘤破裂导致脑出血。他做了开颅手术,这是成功的，他被转移到康复中心，卒中后3个月的改良Rankin量表评分为2分。
■这一病例提醒人们，拔罐治疗后有危及生命的感染并发症风险。皮肤屏障受损的患者可能会出现严重的不良反应，特别是在没有实施适当的感染预防措施的情况下进行拔罐。
