title: [Computerized tomography in the diagnosis of hemorrhage caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysm].
abstract: The authors presented current views on usefulness of computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing the bleeding from a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. CT should be done in every such case, whereas the lumbar puncture remains the diagnostic method of choice, when CT is not available or in those patients in whom CT shows no haemorrhage. Sensitivity of CT decreases with time that elapsed from the stroke; false negative results are the least likely to occur within the first 48 hours after bleeding episode to subarachnoid space.
