Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage: effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide on middle cerebral artery velocities using transcranial Doppler sonography.
The case of a middle cerebral artery vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage is discussed. The effectiveness of treating the vasospasm with calcitonin gene-related peptide is illustrated.
