A CT scan demonstrated extensive SAH in the basilar cisterns and Sylvian fissures bilaterally, as well as evidence of acute hydrocephalus (Fig 3, Fig 4). A CT angiogram performed at the same time ...

decreased mental status and hydrocephalus Vasospasm prophylaxis and diagnosis Nimodipine 60 mg p.o. every 4 h until SAH day 21 Option: simvastatin 40–80 mg p.o. or pravastatin 40 mg p.o. daily ...

Introduction: Among the sequelae of aneurysmal SAH are vasospasm and hydrocephalus. This study aims to assess whether intraventricular tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) results in fewer angioplasties ...

Due to the complex nature of neurological injury in SAH, we found it impossible to reliably identify specific complications, such as intracranial hypertension, obstructive hydrocephalus, brainstem ...

hydrocephalus, and intraventricular, intracerebral, and subdural blood were rated. Proportions were compared by unpaired or pairedt test. CONCLUSIONS The clinical and radiological features of patients ...

External ventricular drains (EVDs) were placed in patients with symptomatic hydrocephalus. Nimodipine was administered to all SAH patients. Management of vasospasm included intravenous magnesium ...
