ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT We retrospectively evaluated the records of 49 grade 4 and 5 patients with 42 intracranial aneurysms treated within 72 h of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In total, 35 patients (71%) were grade 4, and 14 (29%) were grade 5. A total of 42 (85%) patients had one aneurysm, 6 (12%) had two aneurysms, and 1 (3%) had three aneurysms. Out of 49 patients, one technical (2%) and one clinical (2%) complication occurred at surgery. Twenty-one (43%) patients recovered well, including 7 with postoperative hematoma requiring an immediate evacuation of a clot. Fourteen (29%) patients had hydrocephalus and required a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt; 12 patients underwent tracheotomy postoperatively due to coma and pulmonary infection. We found that patients with Hunt and Hess grade 4 and 5 aneurysms can undergo successful neurosurgical clipping of the aneurysms after SAH. However, the morbidity and mortality rates remain high because of their poor clinical condition and a high incidence of vasospasm during treatment.
RESUMO
RESUMO Avaliamos retrospectivamente os registros de 49 pacientes com 42 aneurismas intracranianos de graus 4 e 5, tratados nas primeiras 72 horas após uma hemorragia subaracnóidea (HSA). Trinta e cinco pacientes (71%) apresentavam grau 4 e catorze (29%) grau 5. Quarenta e dois pacientes (85%) tinham um único aneurisma, seis (12%) tinham dois aneurismas, e um paciente (3%) tinha três aneurismas. Dos 49 pacientes, uma complicação técnica (2%) e uma complicação clínica (2%) ocorreram durante a cirurgia. Vinte e um pacientes (43%) recuperaram-se bem, incluindo sete que tiveram hematomas pós-operatórios que requereram a imediata evacuação do coágulo. Catorze pacientes (29%) tiveram hidrocefalia e submeteram-se à derivação ventrículo-peritoneal; doze pacientes submeteram-se à traqueostomia no pós-operatório, devido a coma e infecção pulmonar. Pacientes com aneurismas de graus 4 e 5, segundo a escala de Hunt & Hess podem submeter-se com sucesso à clipagem dos aneurismas após HSA. Entretanto, as taxas de morbidade e mortalidade ainda são altas, devido à condição clínica precária e à alta incidência de vasoespasmo durante o tratamento.
