This document discusses the differences between traumatic (tSAH) and spontaneous (sSAH) subarachnoid hemorrhage. It notes that while tSAH is usually caused by head trauma, sSAH is often due to a ruptured brain aneurysm. The clinical presentations can overlap but differentiation is important for determining treatment, which involves securing the airway, managing increased intracranial pressure, and treating the underlying cause such as clipping an aneurysm. While management principles are often similar, the definitive treatment differs based on the etiology of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
