title: [Neurosurgical therapy of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Microsurgical techniques--early postoperative nimodipine administration].
abstract: With the increasing life expectancy of the general population, the number of geriatric patients with aneurysmatic subarachnoid bleeding consulting the neurosurgeon is also increasing. The possibilities of modern micro-neurosurgery have created a situation that permits craniotomy and aneurysmal clipping in the geriatric patient with an acceptably low level of risk and high probability of high post-operative quality of life. Although a definitive evaluation of perioperative administration of calcium channel blockers in geriatric patients with an aneurysm is not yet possible, experience so far gained points to their positive effect on a more rapid and more pronounced resolution of the post-hemorrhagic impairment of the cognitive performance.
