Acute Hydrocephalus and Cerebral Perfusion after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

Acute hydrocephalus after SAH reduces CBF in the deep gray matter and periventricular white matter and delays MTT and TTP in all investigated brain areas. The negative effect of acute hydrocephalus on cerebral perfusion in patients with SAH seems more pronounced in the vicinity of the ventricles than in remote sites.
