title: [Nimodipine and cerebrovascular circulation. Initial results apropos of 4 cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage].
abstract: Nimodipine was included in the treatment of four patients who had previously presented subarachnoid hemorrhage; cerebral circulation has been assayed by means of "Tomophygmographie cérébrale ultra-sonore". In all four patients, use of Nimodipine has led to an improvement of cerebral circulation and then of the neurological status. Nimodipine is characterized by its very low therapeutic inertion. Data obtained both at the initiation and on interruption of the administration of this drug points to its original properties regarding cerebral circulation: indeed, the present observations suggest that Nimodipine behaves as a true vasoregulator.
