History and Definition of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cerebral Vasospasm: Neurovascular Events After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Part of the book series: Acta Neurochirurgica Supplement ((NEUROCHIRURGICA,volume 115))

Abstract

A list of the vasospasm meetings is provided. The early descriptions of angiographic vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia are presented. Selected advances in knowledge in the field and some controversies are described. A proposal for definitions of neurological deterioration due to delayed cerebral ischemia, of cerebral infarction, and of vasospasm is reviewed.
