Abstract
Cerebral vasospasm due to subarachnoid hemorrhage still remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. As the prophylactic measure against vasospasm, we have employed nicardipine and hyperdynamic therapy after surgery and have obtained better outcome in most cases than before. However, these treatments have not completely eliminated the delayed ischemic deficits.
