Computer tomography in the evaluation of subarachnoid hemorrhage. 1980

B Liliequist, and M Lindqvist

Repeat CT scanning and cerebral angiography has been performed in 68 consecutive patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Blood in the subarachnoid cisterns could be discerned in 27 of 32 patients provided the examination was performed within 2 days of the bleeding. The distribution of cisternal blood can be identified which, in combination with the localization of a possible intracerebral hematoma, yields a rather good predictability as to the site of the ruptured aneurysm. The subsequent angiography can thus be directed to the relevant vessel in most cases. Repeat CT scanning can replace angiography in the evaluation of patients with deterioration of the clinical condition.

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.
