MR imaging after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and surgery: a long-term follow-up study.

Long term outcome after subarachnoid haemorrhage of unknown aetiology

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the long term outcome after non-aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). METHODS 1154 patients with SAH were treated in our hospital between 1989 and 1999. From this patient population, 97 patients had a non-aneurysmal SAH. All hospital records and death certificates were studied and 33 patients were examined by MRI and MR angiograp...

Evidence for excess long-term mortality after treated subarachnoid hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term mortality rate of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) compared with that of the general population. METHODS Aneurysmal SAH patients who were treated for ruptured aneurysm from 1977 through 1998 in a tertiary referral center (n=1537) were followed up for a median of 7.5 years. Dates and causes of d...

Long-Term Excess Mortality After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Patients With Multiple Aneurysms at Risk.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is high case-fatality rate and loss of productive life-years related to aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) but data on long-term survival of patients with aSAH are scarce. We aim to evaluate long-term excess mortality and related risk factors after an aSAH event. METHODS Survivors (n=3078) of aSAH who had survived for ≥1 year were reviewed for this retrospe...

Does non-perimesencephalic type non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage have a benign prognosis?

We reviewed and compared the clinical course and long-term prognosis of patients with non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) with and without a perimesencephalic pattern of hemorrhage on CT scan. In 876 patients with spontaneous SAH, 52 (5.9%) were diagnosed with non-aneurysmal SAH. Based on their CT scans, the SAH was classified as perimesencephalic non-aneurysmal SAH (PNSH) in 23 patien...
