Neurovascular Events After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

Introduction: Tenascin-C (TNC), a matricellular protein, exerts diverse functions, including tissue remodeling and apoptosis, and is induced in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among CSF TNC levels, initial brain injury, delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), and vasospasm after SAH.

Methods: CSF TNC levels were measured in 30 patients with aneurysmal SAH of Fisher computed tomography (CT) group III who were treated microsurgically or endovascularly with CSF drainage within 24 h of SAH. Admission World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade was supposed to indicate the severity of initial brain injury. Cerebral vasospasm was defined as narrowed (≥25 %) cerebral arteries demonstrated by angiography. DCI was defined as any neurological deterioration presumed related to ischemia that persisted for ≥1 h.

Results: Higher CSF TNC levels were correlated with worse admission WFNS grades. Vasospasm was aggravated with higher TNC levels. DCI occurred regardless of the degree of vasospasm but was associated with TNC induction. Multivariate analyses showed that higher TNC levels and vasospasm were independent predictors of DCI occurrence.

Conclusions: SAH (initial brain injury) that is more severe induces more TNC, which may cause the subsequent development of both vasospasm and vasospasm-unrelated secondary brain injury, leading to DCI.
