EKG Changes After Spinal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage • Marked morphological electrocardiographical changes occurred in a patient whose subarachnoid hemorrhage originated in the lower spinal canal. Thus, the electrocardiogram can show the changes well known for intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage even when the source of bleeding is in the lower spinal canal. Additional

SltirgeWeber Disease With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage • A healthy adult with a nevus flammeus presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Cerebral arteriography demonstrated vascular anomalies typical of encephalofacial angiomatosis (Sturge-Weber disease). A review of the literature failed to disclose a welldocumented case of subarachnoid hemorrhage in this condition. Additional

Background: Cerebral vasospasm (CV) can contribute significant morbidity for subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients. A key unknown is how CV induction triggered following SAH.

Background and Purpose Hyponatremia is a common complication after subarachnoid hemorrhage. In this study we investigated the relations among hyponatremia, plasma natriuretic peptides, and antidiuretic hormone concentrations after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Methods Blood samples for radioimmunoassay measurement of plasma brain natriuretic peptide-like immunoreactivity, atrial natriuretic peptide-...

Most of Tarlov or perineurial cysts remain asymptomatic throughout the patient's life. The pathogenesis is still unclear. Hemorrhage has been suggested as one of the possible causes and trauma with resultant hemorrhage into subarachnoid space has been suggested as an origin of these cysts. However, Tarlov cysts related to spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage has not been reported. The authors re...

Patients suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage often present with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities that mimic cardiac ischemia, but documented left ventricular regional wall-motion dysfunction has rarely been reported. This report is intended to raise the awareness of possible ECG changes secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We cared for a 55-year-old female with an acut...

The common carotid arteries were ligated bilaterally 2 weeks before induction of subarachnoid hemorrhage in rabbits. The rabbits were observed closely for clinical symptoms, and angiographic and pathologic investigations were performed. Thirteen experimental rabbits showed a progressing neurologic deficit that was worst on the fourth or fifth day after the subarachnoid hemorrhage. This symptoma...

Introduction: The present case study reports an intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. Case Report: A 57-year-old male presented with intraparenchymal hemorrhage from a ruptured basilar tip aneurysm without subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient had successful endovascular embolization of his ruptured cerebral aneurysm 9 years previously....

The age-standardized incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage was 33/100,000/yr among Finnish men and 25/100,000/yr among Finnish women. Subarachnoid hemorrhage represented 11% of all strokes detected during 1983-1985 in the community-based stroke register in three areas of Finland. Age-standardized mortality from subarachnoid hemorrhage was 18/100,000/yr among men and 12/100,000/yr among women age...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this study was to determine the alterations in vascular reactivity of human basilar artery after subarachnoid hemorrhage. METHODS Human basilar arteries were obtained from subjects who died within 1 day after subarachnoid hemorrhage and control subjects who died from causes other than brain involvement. Basilar artery strips were suspended for isometric tens...
