Abstract
- The ruptured aneurysms are frequently complicated with cerebral infarction, rebleeding, hydrocephalus and severe medical complications which add secondary injury to the brain surviving initial hemorrhage. Early diagnosis and judicious medical management for the complications as they occur will improve patient outcome. This paper will review current opinion about prevention and management of secondary complications associated with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
