ABSTRACT
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage [SAH], as very common and complicated cerebrovascular disease, is responsible for 30% of cerebrovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the angiographic findings of patients with SAH. In this descriptive-analytical study, all 51 patients with SAH who were presented to the Imam Khomeini Imaging Center from 1385-1386 were evaluated. Patients were assessed by either flat panel or conventional method. Saccular aneurysm was the most finding in angiography. The most prevalent site of involvement was ant. communication artery. History of cerebrovascular disorders and history of polycystic kidney disease were significantly associated with pathologic findings of SAH in angiography, while there was no significant correlation between history of cigarette smoking, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure and being treated in ICU and CCU for heart problems, and SAH. Flat panel radiography was superior to conventional method in diagnosis of patients with SAH. This study showed that flat panel studies are superior to conventional methods, and history of cerebrovascular disorders and polycystic kidney disease increases the possibility of developing SAH
