Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is a rare but serious complication of carotid revascularization, and characterized by ipsilateral headache, hypertension, seizures, focal neurological deficits. Therefore, treatment strategies are directed towards regulation blood pressure limitation rises in cerebral perfusion to prevent edema or hemorrhage, especially during several days after endarterctomy st...

A woman who presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured anterior spinal artery aneurysm of the spinal cord is reported. While this is the first report of a ruptured aneurysm of the anterior spinal artery with angiographic confirmation, it emphasizes that occasionally subarachnoid hemorrhage may be secondary to ruptured spinal artery aneurysms.

Headache of subacute onset, associated with other signs of increased intracranial pressure, represents the most frequent symptom of cerebral thrombophlebitis. We report a case of subarachnoid hemorrhage as a rare presentation of cerebral thrombophlebitis. Unfractionated intravenous heparin treatment resulted in resolution of subarachnoid hemorrhage on control brain CT scan and quick clinical re...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is frequently associated with poor prognoses. Three different hemodynamic phases were identified during subarachnoid hemorrhage: oligemia, hyperemia, and vasospasm. Each phase is associated with brain metabolic changes. In this review, we correlated the hemodynamic phases with brain metabolism and potential treatment options in the hopes of improving patient prognoses.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Studies of several complex medical conditions have shown that outcomes are better at hospitals that treat more cases. We tested the hypothesis that patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage treated at high-volume hospitals have better outcomes. METHODS Using a database of all admissions to nonfederal hospitals in California from 1990 to 1999, we obtained discharge abstracts...
