Cerebral vasospasm (VS) is one of the factors that can most significantly worsen the prognosis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A substantial body of evidence supports the idea that CSF diversion could prevent VS, even if this issue is still much debated. External ventricular drainage (EVD) is the recommended procedure for post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. In this study we analyzed whether EVD, placed for acute hydrocephalus, is effective in reducing the incidence of clinical and radiological cerebral vasospasm in patients who underwent endovascular treatment for aneurysmal SAH.

Abstract

Cerebral vasospasm (VS) is one of the factors that can most significantly worsen the prognosis after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). A substantial body of evidence supports the idea that CSF diversion could prevent VS, even if this issue is still much debated. External ventricular drainage (EVD) is the recommended procedure for post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus. In this study we analyzed whether EVD, placed for acute hydrocephalus, is effective in reducing the incidence of clinical and radiological cerebral vasospasm in patients who underwent endovascular treatment for aneurysmal SAH.
