Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
SAH affects 6-9 people per 100,000 of the population per year and constitutes about 6% of first strokes. An apparent decrease from older published figures is attributed to a higher rate of CT scanning, excluding other haemorrhagic causes. Approximately 85% of patients bleed from intracranial arterial aneurysms, 10% from a non-aneurysmal peri-mesencephalic haemorrhage and 5% from other vascular ...

Subarachnoid haemorrhage accounts for only 5% of strokes, but occurs at a fairly young age. Sudden headache is the cardinal feature, but patients might not report the mode of onset. CT brain scanning is normal in most patients with sudden headache, but to exclude subarachnoid haemorrhage or other serious disorders, a carefully planned lumbar puncture is also needed. Aneurysms are the cause of s...

متن کاملForecasting Subarachnoid Haemorrhage
SIR,-We were interested in the cases of adenovirus type 19 keratoconjunctivitis reported from Belgium and Holland by Dr. J. Desmyter and others (16 November, p. 406). Though a few strains of this virus have been isolated elsewhere in Britain during 1973-4, it was not until July 1974 that it was first detected in Scotland. The patient, a male anaesthetist aged 52 years, first developed photophob...
متن کاملHypercalcaemia Mimicking STEMI on Electrocardiography
Acute coronary syndrome is a common cause of presentation to hospital. ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG) is likely to be cardiac in origin, but in low-risk patients other causes must be ruled out. We describe a case of a man with hypercalcaemia, no evidence of cardiac disease, and ECG changes mimicking acute myocardial infarction. These ECG changes resolved after treatment of t...
