| ABSTRACT |
|
We reviewed & analyzed 440 cases of surgically treated cerebral aneurysm to search for the prognostic factors affecting their outcomes between Jan., 1984 to May., 1995.
Among the various factors, age over 60, systolic blood pressure over 140mmHg, distolic blood pressure over 90mmHg, preoperative neurological grade, thick blood clot in the basal cistern on brain CT scan, hydrocephalus, intracranial hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, poor preoperative angiographic vasospasm, multiple aneurysm and posterior circulation aneurysm are all factors that determines the final outcome, they interact as complex factor by additive action, rather than as one specific factor. |
