title: [Value of the measurement of cerebral blood flow in choosing the operative time of ruptured intracranial aneurysm].
abstract: The authors report a series of 135 patients treated between 1984 and 1987, for a ruptured intracranial saccular aneurysm in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Lariboisiere Hospital. The value of C.T. scan and cerebral blood flow measurements (C.B.F.) in predicting the development of vasospasm was studied on 99 cases. The analysis confirmed that the C.T. Scan findings are closely related to vasospasm. A low C.B.F. between the fourth and the eight day following the bleeding was significantly associated with the development of delayed cerebral ischaemia. On the contrary, no relation was found between vasospasm and the C.B.F. measured during the three days following the bleeding. The authors propose to operate without delay on clinical grounds on patients referred during the first three days after the hemorrhage and to decide, on clinical and C.B.F. data, the timing of the intervention for patients admitted after this data, i.e. 35% of their patients.
