This document discusses aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), including its causes, diagnosis, treatment, and complications. The most common cause is rupture of a cerebral aneurysm, which accounts for 80-85% of cases. Diagnosis involves CT scan and lumbar puncture to detect blood. Angiography is used to identify the aneurysm's location. Early securing of the aneurysm via coiling or clipping can prevent rebleeding and improve outcomes, which are also impacted by age, neurological grade, amount of bleeding, vasospasm severity and other factors. Complications include rebleeding, vasospasm, hydrocephalus, seizures, and medical issues.

Ischemic Stroke Subclassification, An Asian ViewpointErsifa Fatimah
Pada awalnya, sistem klasifikasi stroke diderivasi dari temuan autopsi yang dikaitkan dengan klinis pasien. Seiring dengan berkembangnya modalitas imaging & investigasi vaskular, klasifikasi stroke yang pada awalnya menitikberatkan pada sindroma klinis beralih menjadi suatu proses decision-making berdasarkan data klinis-radiologis-laboratoris.
Menariknya lagi, proporsi subtipe stroke ini pun berubah, sesuai sistem & kriteria yang digunakan...
Hmmm, bagaimana dengan klasifikasi dan proporsi tipe stroke di Asia?

4. Epidemiology
• Prevalence of aneurysm 1-6%
• Multiple aneurysm in 20 – 30%
• Only about 20% of them rupture during a
lifetime
– 10/1 lakh population / year (average)
– India – 3-4 (hospital based studies)
– High in Finland and Japan (15-30)
– Low in France, China
5. Risk factors for aneurysm
formation
• Incidence increases with age
– Peak at 50-60 years
– Very rare in children
• Female gender (1.2 – 1.6 times more common)
• Hypertension
• Smoking
• Genetic factors
– Connective tissue disorders (Marfan, Ehler Danlos Syndrome)
– Polycystic Kidney Disease
– Familial occurrence (7 to 20%)
6. Natural History
• 10-12% die before receiving medical
attention
• 40-50 % of hospitalized pts.die within 1
month
• Only 1/3rd of survivors have “good results”.
7.
8. Clinical features
• Sudden severe headache (Thunderclap)
– 1 in 8 to 10 pts with sudden severe headache have SAH
• Nausea, vomiting
• Meningismus
• Altered consciousness / coma
• Focal neurological deficit
• Seizures (10-25%)
• Prodromal symptoms – sentinel bleeds (50%)
• Ocular haemorrhages
10. HUNT AND HESS SCALE.
I - Asymptomatic or with mild headache
II-Moderate or severe headache, nuchal rigidity
III-Confusion, drowsiness, or mild focal deficit
(discounting third nerve palsy)
IV-Stupor or hemiparesis, early decerebrate
rigidity
V-Deep coma, extensor posturing
11. WFNS Grading
Grade GCS Clinical examination
1 15 No motor deficit
2 13-14 No motor deficit
3 13-14 Motor deficit
4 7-12 With or without motor deficit
5 3-6 With or without motor deficit
14. CT scan
• CT scan head-positive in up to
- 95-100% in 12-24 hours
- 80% in 3 days
- 70% in 5 days
- 50% at1 week
- 30% at 2 weeks
MRI is not sensitive in acute bleed
24. Importance of correct diagnosis !
• A disease of high morbidity and mortality
• Good grade patients are usually
misdiagnosed
• Misdiagnosis ranges 25-50%
30. CT Angiogram (CTA)
Demonstrate aneurysms as small as 2 to 3
mm
• Useful for surgical planning
• A screening tool in populations at high risk
• Sensitivity 95 – 97%
32. Magnetic Resonance
Angiography-
Takes ½ to 1 hour
Detects aneurysms >3 to
5 mm
MRI detects thrombosed
aneurysms
Screening modality
33. Angiogram-negative SAH
• 15 to 20%
– 65 % are prepontine or perimesencephalic
• Causes
– Vasospasm
– Hypoperfusion
– Poor angiographic technique
– Thrombosis
• Repeat angiography
– Undetected aneurysms found in an additional
2–5% of cases at 2–4 weeks
34. Perimesencephalic bleed
• Venous hemorrhage
• Younger
• Non-hypertensive
• Better grade
• More in males
• Prognosis good
• Re-bleeding is rare
• Delayed ischemic
deficit very few
35. Initial Management
• Absolute bed rest with 30degrees head elevation
• Analgesia- short-acting and reversible agent
– Pain is associated with a transient elevation in blood
pressure and increased risk of rebleeding
• Sedation with a short-acting benzodiazepine such
as midazolam
– Use with caution to avoid distorting subsequent
neurologic evaluation
39. Rebleed
• Most disastrous and disabling
• Mortality rates-70 to 90 %
• Prevention of rebleed is early intervention
40. Rebleed
• First 24 hrs- 4-6 %
• 1-2 % per day for 2 weeks
( cumulative 20%)
• 30% rebleed by 30 days
• 50% rebleed by 6 months
• There after 3% per year
41. Vasospasm
• Delayed ischemic
neurlogic deficit-
• Onset on the 3rd day
• Peak 6_8 days
• Resolves by 3
weeks
43. Clinical vasospasm

44. Hydrocephalus
• Acute hydrocephalus occurs in 15% to 87%
– With IVH - 35 to 65 %
– managed by external ventricular drainage (EVD)
• Chronic shunt-dependent hydrocephalus occurs in
8.9% to 48%
– Chronic hydrocepalus in 50% of pts with Ac. HCP
– Treated with ventricular shunt placement
45.
46. Seizures
• Early 6% to 18%
• Delayed seizures 3% to 7%
• Risk factors
– MCA aneurysm
– Thickness of SAH
– ICH
– Rebleeding
– Infarction
– Poor neurological grade
– History of hypertension
• Prophylactic anticonvulsants in the immediate
posthemorrhagic period
• Routine long-term use of anticonvulsants is not
recommended
52. Definitive treatment
• Microsurgical Clipping OR Endovascular
coiling should be performed as early as feasible
in the majority of patients to reduce the rate of
rebleeding
• Complete obliteration of the aneurysm should be
achieved whenever possible
• Determination of aneurysm treatment, as judged
by both neurosurgeons and endovascular
specialists, should be a multidisciplinary decision
based on characteristics of the patient and the
aneurysm
56. Coiling or Clipping
• For patients with ruptured aneurysms
judged to be technically amenable to both
endovascular coiling and neurosurgical
clipping, endovascular coiling should be
considered
57. Clipping preferred
• Patients presenting with large ICH and MCA
aneurysm
• Aneurysm characteristics
– Wide neck
– Blebs
– Geometrically complex with incorporation of branch
artery
– Partially thrombosed
– Giant
• Inability to navigate delivery system
• Patients preference
58. Coiling preferred
• In elderly
• In poor-grade
• Aneurysms of basilar artery
59. Conclusion
• SAH is a NEUROSURGICAL
EMERGENCY
• High index of suspicion is required
• Immediate investigation with a CT scan +/-
LP should be done.
• Securing aneurysm early results in better
outcome
60. Outcome
• Age
• WFNS grade
• Fisher grade
• Size of aneurysm
• Severity of vasospasm
