Management of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) occurs as a result of rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and affects a younger population compared with ischaemic stroke or intracerebral haemorrhage. Although it makes up only about 5% of all cerebrovascular events, it accounts for over a quarter of the productive life-years lost to stroke. Its surgical and medical treatment represents a multidisciplinary effort. We herein provide an overview of current management options for aSAH.
