Vasospasm

  • Chapter
Intracranial Aneurysms

Abstract

The term vasospasm is used in this chapter to denote an abnormal, inappropriate, or unnatural constriction of blood vessels. This pathologic constriction is usually described clinically as involving part of an artery (segmental constriction) or part of a circulatory bed, being of long duration, and which is or may be deleterious to the tissue involved (172). It is not known whether this prolonged contraction is due to factors which only stimulate contractile activity or which inhibit the relaxation of the vessel, or both. In contrast, physiologic vasoconstriction is commonly considered to be diffuse and even in character and to serve the special needs of organs (as in autoregulation). The term also has been applied hypothetically to explain the causes of specific neurologic diseases, such as migraine (42), long before there were any observations to substantiate the hypotheses and was used to explain postmortem evidence of brain ischemia associated with ruptured aneurysms (175).
