Delayed Vasospasm after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Behcet Syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A man visited the emergency room with a headache. Brain computed tomography showed aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and multiple aneurysms. After aneurysm clipping surgery, the patient was discharged. After 5 days, he was admitted to the hospital with skin ulceration and was diagnosed with Behcet syndrome. An angiogram taken 7 weeks after aneurysmal SAH showed intracranial vasospasm. Because inflammation in Behcet syndrome may aggravate intracranial vasospasm, intracranial vasospasm after aneurysmal SAH in Behcet syndrome should be monitored for longer compared to general aneurysmal SAH.

Severe cerebral vasospasm after traumatic brain injury.
Severe traumatic brain injury is associated with both acute and delayed neuro- logical injury. Cerebral vasospasm is commonly associated with delayed neurological decline in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients. However, the role played by vasospasm in traumatic brain injury is less clear. Vasospasm occurs earlier, for a shorter duration, and often without significant neurological conseq...
متن کاملDiagnosing Vasospasm After Subarachnoid
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (A-SAH) has potentially devastating consequences acutely, sub-acutely and long term. The incidence of A-SAH varies widely among populations with up to a tenfold difference. Incidence ranges from 2.0 per 100,000 per year in China to 22.5 per 100,000 per year in Finland.1 One of the most feared complications in patients who survive the acute A-SAH is cerebral va...
متن کاملDo Statins Improve Outcomes and Reduce the Incidence of Vasospasm After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Background and Purpose—Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a relatively rare cause of stroke with a high rate of morbidity and mortality, primarily due to the occurrence of delayed vasospasm. To date, many therapies have been proposed to help prevent vasospasm, but very few have been proven effective. The initiation of statin therapy after SAH may be effective in reducing the incidence of vasospas...
متن کاملMatrix Metalloproteinases in Cerebral Vasospasm following Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Delayed cerebral vasospasm is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). While the cellular mechanisms underlying vasospasm remain unclear, it is believed that inflammation may play a critical role in vasospasm. Matrix metalloproteinasees (MMPs) are a family of extracellular and membrane-bound proteases capable of degrading the blood-rain ...
