Abstract
The clinical condition and the age of patients suffering from subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) caused by a ruptured intracranial aneurysm are well-known factors of prognostic importance. Complicating events, such as vasospasm, cerebral edema and hydrocephalus, substantially influence the operative risk and carry a high mortality and morbidity. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these complications have been the subject of extensive studies during the last few years, and continuous monitoring of the intracranial pressure has especially given valuable information (3, 4, 6, 8). In the present investigation we studied the clincal state of the patients, the intraventricular pressure (IVP), the levels of CSF lactate/pH and angiographic vasospasm in order to assess the value of these parameters for determining the optimal time of operation, and for the prognosis.
