background and importance: symptomatic vasospasm is a well-known pathology associated with ruptured aneurysms. nevertheless, this condition is rarely found as a result of skull base tumor removal. case presentation: we reported a new case of 40-year-old woman previously treated for a tuberculum and diaphragma sellae meningioma showing symptomatic vasospasm after twelve post-operative days witho...

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 ...

Precise in vivo evaluation of cerebral vasospasm caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage has remained a critical but unsolved issue in experimental small animal models. In this study, we used synchrotron radiation angiography to study the vasospasm of anterior circulation arteries in two subarachnoid hemorrhage models in rats. Synchrotron radiation angiography, laser Doppler flowmetry-cerebral blood ...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) accounts for 25% of all cerebrovascular deaths. Mortality rates after SAH have been reported to be as high as 50%; among the remaining survivors, 50% are left severely disabled. Morbidity and mortality are largely due to rebleeding and vasospasm. Currently, prediction of outcome relies on demographic, clinical, and radiological factors. Yet, accurate prediction of ...

Abstract Aim This study aims to review the literature regarding utility and accuracy of transcranial toppler (TCD) ultrasound in diagnosis cerebral vasospasm (CV) following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). Method A systematic was conducted PRISMA guidelines. Pubmed Google Scholar online databases were searched using designated MeSH search terms: “subarachnoid haemorrhage” AND “aneury...

BACKGROUND Clinical and radiologic predictors of cerebral infarction occurrence and location after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage have been seldom studied. METHODS We evaluated all patients admitted to our hospital with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage between 1998 and 2000. Cerebral infarction was defined as a new hypodensity located in a vascular distribution on computed tomography (C...

Middle Cerebral Artery Embolectomy and Prolonged Widespread Vasospasm • Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured aneurysms has been discussed extensively during the past decade. Spasm involving the cerebral arteries also has been described in severe head injuries, infections, hypertensive encephalopathy and migraine. However, it has not been reported in cerebral embo...

Background: Cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia continue to be major contributors to morbidity and mortality after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Purpose: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the pharmacotherapy interventions for the prevention and management of cerebral vasospasm in patients with SAH. Methods: A search of MEDLINE (January 1966-April 2012) and EMBA...

Cerebral vasospasm is a well-known entity following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. While it has been described in trauma, much less studied. There have no previous reports of cerebral spontaneous subdural hematoma or after evacuation. In this case report, we present 38-year-old otherwise healthy female who suffered an acute hematoma. After surgical evacuation her hematoma, she developed ne...

Cerebral vasospasm following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy is an exceedingly rare but serious complication with high morbidity and mortality. The initial signs and symptoms of cerebral vasospasm following transsphenoidal hypophysectomy are changes in mental status, motor deficits, and speech difficulties. Symptomatic vasospasm is difficult to reverse despite treatment and often only resolves w...
