Outcome of intracranial aneurysm clipping: analysis of first 35 cases

Sub arachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm is a major healthcare concern because of its fatal consequence and also the potential to be fully treated if acted upon on time. It constitutes 85% of nontraumatic SAH cases. 1 The incidence of intracranial aneurysms have been found to be as high as 1% in males and 2% in females in the UK. 2 Although the incidence of patients presenting with routine headache, later found to have ruptured intracranial is very less, strikingly around 10% of patients who were otherwise intact, but had “severe and worst headache of their life”, on further workup were found to have a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. 3
