Effect of circulating pattern and complicating factors on outcome for ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysms.
We reviewed outcome for ruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm in 40 patients and attempted to establish its relationships with circulating pattern and complicating factors. Circulation Type-1 and Type-2 were associated with a better outcome than Type-3 and Type-4. Apart from arterial hypertension and cerebral infarction, all the complicating factors, i.e., vasospasm, brain oedema, intraparenchymal and/or intraventricular haemorrhage and hydrocephalus were related with an increased risk for poor outcome, but the broad outcome was more depended on circulating pattern for anterior cerebral territories.
