title: [Therapy of aneurysm-induced subarachnoid hemorrhage].
abstract: Based on our experience with 115 consecutive patients treated in our department for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage between August 1984 and January 1988, problems of patient selection for early and late surgery as well as medical therapy are discussed. Overall surgical mortality was 6.7%. Surgical mortality was 12.1% for patients operated within 72 hours post SAB, whereas it was 4.2% for patients treated at later intervals. The value of transcranial Doppler sonography for timing of aneurysm surgery is stressed.
