Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Out of a series of 252 patients who underwent aneurysm surgery, 19 (7.5%) were operated on in a "peracute stage" in the poor grades Hunt & Hess IV (n = 11), IV-V (n = 2), and V (n = 6). All patients suffered from large aneurysmal intracerebral hematomas which were evacuated after decompressive craniotomies, all aneurysms (ACA: n = 1, ACoA: n = 4, MCA: n = 12, ICA: n = 2) could be clipped. 4 patients died within the first 3 postoperative days, 6 patients reached a poor result remaining in an apallic syndrome or a state of high invalidity, 8 obtained a fair result with personal autonomity, and 1 patient recovered completely. Although this kind of aneurysm bleeding is combined with high mortality and morbidity, we nevertheless emphasize its surgical treatment as soon as possible because of the lack of other efficient therapeutical procedures.
