title: Subarachnoid haemorrhage.
abstract: Aneurysmal SAH is a devastating condition arising suddenly and usually without warning. The best outcomes may be facilitated by prompt recognition/suspicion and immediate referral to the neurosurgical unit. Many contentious issues surround this subject and the ISAT trial should resolve many of these. Modern developments alongside evidence-based practice should hopefully optimise results.
