Abstract

Ruptured aneurysms account for most cases of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Computed tomography (CT)1 has had a major impact on the neuroradiological investigation of SAH. Imaging of intracranial blood was not possible before the CT era. The CT scan is important (a) to document the SAH and assess the amount of blood in the cisterns; (b) to localize the site of the aneurysm; and (c) to evaluate other complicating factors, including cerebral hematoma, ventricular rupture, hydrocephalus, cerebral infarction, impending uncal herniation, and rebleed. See Chapters 8 through 11 for additional details of SAH complications.
