Intracranial aneurysm surgery in Bangladesh.
In this study of 1000 cerebrovascular disease patients, the commonest age are 50 to 70 years with male predominance. The urban patients are large in number and the risk factors are sedentary life, stress and strain, smoking, and hypertension. The patients are more chronic than acute and transport facilities are poor. Fifteen percent are hemorrhagic stroke, some of them may be due to intracranial aneurysm. In the absence of proper diagnostic facilities and adequate neurosurgeons, infrequent surgical treatment, and lack of statistics of intracranial aneurysm, this study may be a basis for further study of aneurysmal surgery in Bangladesh.
