Abstract

Ruptured intracranial aneurysms cause the vast majority of subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). While SAH is a relatively uncommon type of stroke, it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Successful treatment of aSAH requires a thorough understanding of this complex and multifaceted condition including diagnosis, aneurysm repair, treatment of hydrocephalus, and treatment of vasospasm. This chapter reviews these facets of care with emphasis on endovascular treatment.
