The authors evaluated results of surgical outcome of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in 190 patients between May, 1988, and April 1991, At admission, 78% of the patients were in relatively good neurologic condition and surgery was performed. At dischage, 10% of the patients had died and 58%, exhibited a complete recovery. Predictors for poor prognosis included the patient's low level of consciousness, old age, male sex, thickness of the subarachnoid blood clot on computerized tomography, preexisting hypertension, middle or anterior cerebral artery aneurysm and vasospasm. |
