Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Background and Purpose—Vasospasm secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is responsible for severe ischemic complications. Although effective, angioplasty must be performed at a very early stage to produce any clinical recovery. Diagnostic investigations to assess arterial narrowing (transcranial Doppler, angiography) or cerebral perfusion (xenon CT, single-photon emission CT) do not provide...
متن کاملIntracranial hypotension caused by cisternal irrigation for vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage: a case report
INTRODUCTION Vasospasm is the most common cause of complication after a subarachnoid hemorrhage and tremendous efforts have been made to prevent it. A subarachnoid clot is the cause of the vasospasm and dissolving and washing it out is considered to be the best practice. Cisternal irrigation with urokinase and ascorbic acid has been widely used due to its proven effect. CASE PRESENTATION A 60...
متن کاملTreatment of Intracranial Vasospasm Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Vasospasm has been a long known source of delayed morbidity and mortality in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. Delayed ischemic neurologic deficits associated with vasospasm may account for as high as 50% of the deaths in patients who survive the initial period after aneurysm rupture and its treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of vasospasm has still been met with some controversy....
متن کاملIntracranial heme metabolism and cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this prospective study was to clarify the potential role of an inducible heme-metabolizing enzyme, heme oxygenase (HO)-1, and an inducible iron-detoxifying protein, ferritin, in cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS The authors measured the levels of bilirubin and iron, which are by-products of HO-1, and the ferritin leve...
متن کاملDefining Vasospasm After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Background and Purpose—Vasospasm is an important complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage, but is variably defined in the literature. Methods—We studied 580 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and identified those with: (1) symptomatic vasospasm, defined as clinical deterioration deemed secondary to vasospasm after other causes were eliminated; (2) delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), defined as s...
