Abstract

Authors reviewed the relationship between the cerebral vasospasm in the cerebral angiograms and CT findings in the 41 cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage due to intracranial aneurysmal rupture during the period from July 1982 to February 1984. This study was based upon the CT scans performed within the first 5 days and angiograms obtained between 7 and 17 days after subarachnoid hemorrhagie. Conclusions were as following : 1) No relationship between the site of aneurysm and the amount of subarachnoid blood. 2) No relationship between the site of aneurysm and the development of vasospasm. 3) No definite additional influence of the intracerebral or intraventricular clots on the development of vasospasm. 4) High incidence of severe vasospasm with clot or thick layer in subarachnoid space.
