Abstract

In our population, the frequency of sudden death from aneurysmal SAH has not changed during the last 5 years. The typical clinical profile of sudden death in SAH includes intraventricular hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, and a ruptured posterior circulation aneurysm. Intracerebral hemorrhage is rarely connected to sudden death from aneurysmal SAH.
