Out of a series of 43 cases operated on for ruptured intracranial aneurysms over a 12-month-period, 32 patients were followed up to 12 months postoperatively with repeated evaluations of cerebral blood flow, using the Xenon133 inhalation technique. No statistically significant differences in cerebral perfusion were detected between the subgroups of good-grade patients, who were submitted respectively to early, or delayed surgery. Depression of flow in the affected hemisphere of poor-grade patients was principally related to the preoperative occurrence of an intracerebral haematoma. The overall results were not consistent with the hypothesis that early surgical intervention results in long-lasting effects on the cerebral circulation.

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.
