Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Abstract
To be able to understand and manage the devastating condition of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysm, the neuroscience practitioner needs to be thoroughly cognizant of its causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. This article presents a descriptive review and current update of these factors. The high morbidity and mortality in survivors of initial subarachnoid hemorrhage is mainly due to development of complications of hydrocephalus, hypothalamic dysfunction, rebleeding and vasospasm. A thorough knowledge of their causes, symptoms, times of occurrence and treatment is vitally important. This article also discusses complications with emphasis upon studies being done and proposed new methods of therapy.
