Management of cerebral vasospasm
Neurosurgical Review, 2006Cerebral vasospasm is delayed narrowing of the large arteries of the circle of Willis occurring 4 to 14 days after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). It is but one cause of delayed deterioration after SAH but, in general, is the most important potentially treatable cause of morbidity and mortality after SAH.

Etiology of Cerebral Vasospasm
1999Cerebral vasospasm is a gradual onset and prolonged constriction of the cerebral arteries in the subarachnoid space after subarachnoid hemorrhage. The principal cause is the surrounding blood clot. The significance of vasospasm is that flow through the constricted arteries may be reduced sufficiently to cause cerebral infarction.

The Pharmacology of Cerebral Vasospasm
Pharmacology, 1984About 3 days after subarachnoid hemorrhage the cerebral blood vessels often undergo a sustained constriction (cerebral vasospasm) which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Examination of the literature suggests that interactions of hemoglobin, various prostaglandins, and perhaps some other agents are responsible for this condition ...

The History of Cerebral Vasospasm
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 1990In summary, over a period of approximately four decades, an important new pathologic process was identified. There is no longer any doubt that the deposition of the subarachnoid clot in the basal cisterns can, over the course of a few days, lead to a progressive, severe vasoconstriction. This, in turn, can reduce cerebral blood flow to the distal brain,

The Nature of Cerebral Vasospasm
Journal of Vascular Research, 1981The article comprises mainly the personal views of the author on the following aspects of cerebral vasospasm: the definition of vasospasm; historical physiological concepts of cerebral bloodflow regulation; relation of spasm development in cerebral arteries to their functional behavior during regulation of cerebral blood flow; the essence of vasospasm ...
