Diagnosis of hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage has been facilitated by CT, but the true incidence and pathogenesis of the condition remain to be clarified. Extent of ventricular dilatation does not necessarily correlate with clinical symptoms and the indication of shunting operation is by no means definite. Consecutive 117 patients with ruptured aneurysm were retrospectively studied for possible factor(s) for development of hydrocephalus in the chronic stage. The incidence of chronic hydrocephalus was found to be high in those patients with aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery, those harboring acute hydrocephalus, those admitted with higher clinical grades, those showing thick clots and gyral enhancement on initial CT, and those who received tranexamic acid in excess of 30 g.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.

D002557 Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts Tubes inserted to create communication between a cerebral ventricle and the internal jugular vein. Their emplacement permits draining of cerebrospinal fluid for relief of hydrocephalus or other condition leading to fluid accumulation in the ventricles.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
