Vasospasm

  • Chapter

Abstract

The previous chapter by R.P.W. illustrates the intensive research activity underway in an attempt to determine the etiology and pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm following rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. As such becomes better elucidated, both the definition of cerebral vasospasm and its proper treatment will become clarified. In the meantime, the physician is frustrated by the process of so-called “vasospasm,” as his patient neurologically deteriorates beginning a few days after the bleed, often in the absence of demonstrable hematoma, hydrocephalus, or rebleed. See Chapter 21 for further discussion in relation to timing of surgery.
