Diagnostic Accuracy of Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA) in the Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH)

چکیده
Subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to ruptured aneurysm is a critical clinical situation demanding a very skilled surgical and medical management. Until now cerebral digital subtraction angiography (DSA) has been used as the criterion standard for aneurysmal detection and planning of their microsurgical treatment. However, as the method for diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage moved from lumbar puncture to computed tomography, it seems that method for diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms is also moving from digital subtraction angiography to computed tomographic angiography (CTA), especially CTA with three dimensional reconstructions of images [5-8].

Introduction: Most centres use computed tomographic angiography (CTA) as the primary diagnostic tool in patients presenting with a subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CEMRA) might be an alternative. In this study the ability to detect cerebral aneurysms with CEMRA in patients presenting with a SAH is investigated and compared with CTA. Methods: In 7...
متن کاملComputed tomographic angiography for the evaluation of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
OBJECTIVES Computed tomography (CT) followed by lumbar puncture (LP) is currently the criterion standard for diagnosing subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the emergency department (ED); however, this is based on studies involving a limited number of patients. The authors sought to assess the ability of CT angiography (CTA), a new diagnostic modality, in conjunction with CT/LP to detect SAH. MET...
متن کاملCan computed tomography angiography of the brain replace lumbar puncture in the evaluation of acute-onset headache after a negative noncontrast cranial computed tomography scan?
OBJECTIVES The primary goal of evaluation for acute-onset headache is to exclude aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Noncontrast cranial computed tomography (CT), followed by lumbar puncture (LP) if the CT is negative, is the current standard of care. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the brain has become more available and more sensitive for the detection of cerebral aneurysms. Th...

CT angiography (CTA) is a fast examination performed with a time-optimised contrast injection to enhance the cerebral arteries. Being a new imaging modality in our hospital, evaluation of the effectiveness of 64-row multislice CTA in detecting intracranial aneurysms in ruptured subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) cases is necessary. We conducted a descriptive prospective study by recruiting 30 conse...

Purpose: Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is the most common cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), which is a life-threatening acute cerebrovascular event that typically affects working-age people. This study aims to investigate the aneurysmal SAH incidence rate in elderly population than in middle aged population in China. Materials and methods: Aneurysmal SAH cases were collected retros...
