Abstract
Calcium channel blockers are being used to an increasing extent in neurosurgery to prevent vasospasm and cerebral ischemia secondary to subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, results reported from open or placebo-controlled studies show a wide variation with regard to the outcome [3, 4, 11, 13–17].
