Intraventricular Hemorrhage Is Associated with Early Hydrocephalus, Symptomatic Vasospasm, and Poor Outcome in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

摘要

Objective We hypothesized that the subset of patients with early hydrocephalus following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage may represent a subset of patients with a more vehement inflammatory reaction to blood products in the subarachnoid space. We thus examined risk factors for early hydrocephalus and examined the relationship between early hydrocephalus and symptomatic vasospasm as well as clinical outcome.
