Mechanisms of statin treatment in cerebral vasospasm.
3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors, commonly known as statins, are widely used clinically for their lipid lowering properties. Recent experimental evidence shows that statins are also effective in ameliorating cerebral vasospasm, which occurs as sequelae of subarachnoid hemorrhage. This literature review focuses on the literature-based putative mechanisms invol...
متن کاملCerebral Vasospasm Pharmacological Treatment: An Update
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage- (aSAH-) associated vasospasm constitutes a clinicopathological entity, in which reversible vasculopathy, impaired autoregulatory function, and hypovolemia take place, and lead to the reduction of cerebral perfusion and finally ischemia. Cerebral vasospasm begins most often on the third day after the ictal event and reaches the maximum on the 5th-7th postictal...
متن کاملCerebral Vasospasm
There are essentially two principal end points in cerebrosvascular regulation: maintenance of an adequate supply of blood and energy-yielding substra tes to the brain, despite the imposition of physiological or pathological stresses such as hypoxemia or reduced perfusion pressure, and precise and rapid coupling of regional cerebral bload flow (CBF) to changes in neuronal r equ i r emen t s 3 2 ...
متن کاملHyperdynamic therapy for cerebral vasospasm.
The effects of hyperdynamic therapy on patients with cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), under normal blood pressure (BP) and normal blood volume conditions, are reported. Forty-four patients, who underwent surgery for aneurysms in acute stage, received hydroxyethyl starch (500 ml/day) postoperatively to prevent dehydration. Twenty-four of the 44 patients with prominent ...

A person in his 20s with known migraine with aura developed infarcts in the right middle cerebral artery and both anterior fields of supply (Figure 1 shows a magnetic tomography diffusion weighted series). Cerebral computed and magnetic tomography with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) after admission showed normal blood flow and no sign of dissection or vasculitis. Hemicraniectomy became ne...
