Serum levels of monocytechemoattractant protein-1 correlate withpoor clinical grades in cerebralaneurysms

ABSTRACT

Background: Ruptured cerebral aneurysms [ICAs] are the most common non-traumaticcause of subarachnoid hemorrhage [SAH] that is associated with life threateningcomplications such as Vasospasm, Infarction, and Hydrocephalus [HCP]. The activeparticipation of macrophage/monocyte-mediated inflammatory response in thepathogenesis of cerebral aneurysm as labeled with Monocyte ChemoattractantProtein-1[MCP-1] is suggested
