Clinical and radiological characteristics of patients with spontaneous and posttraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: A retrospective observational study

Background/Aim. There are several serious complications that can accompany both spontaneous and posttraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) such as the development of intracranial hypertension, hydrocephalus, rebleeding, cerebral hypoxia, vasospasm, impaired pituitary function, electrolyte imbalance electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities. Although there is a declining trend in mortality, treatment SAH its represents challenge even imposing neurosurgical centers. Therefore, aim study was to compare some clinical characteristics between SAH. Methods. This retrospective included 138 patients treated at Clinic for Neurosurgery period from January 2018 2023. were 71 with 67 Results. A predominance female male (p < 0.00001) found. statistically significant difference frequency hydrocephalus groups = 0.012663). Cerebral vasospasm significantly more prevalent 0.000091). association also obtained thickness coagulum these two 0.000187). Patients likely have negative T wave 0.000315).
