Relationship among CT scan and clinical findings in acute phase of subarachnoid haemorrhage and subsequent cerbral damage / 中国神经精神疾病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective 　To search the relative factors of cerebral damage, rebleeding, delayed cerebral ischaemia(DCI) and hydrocephalus after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) by CT scans and clinical findings in acute phase. Methods　To analyse the relationship between cerebral damage after SAH and clinical findings: CT scans resulte, age, sex, blood pressure, hyponatraemia, therapeutic methods. Results　Cerebral damage were related to the pattern of distritution of SAH on brain CT and hyponatraemia. The high attack rate of rebleeding and DCI is related to presence of blood in the surface of brain, collection of blood in the ventricle, saccula aneurysms or cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) (P＜0.01). Conclusions　To forecast of cerebral damage after SAH by study of CT scans showing and clinical findings have clincal significance. According to these findings, we may take some therapeutics to prevent the cerebral damage after SAH.
