Description

By analyzing consecutive 100 cases with aneurysmal SAH, problems involved in the treatment of poor-grade patients are discussed. Among 100 cases, 55 cases were in Grade IV or V by Hunt system. We operated on all the cases in an acute stage except cases that had lost brain stem functions. Good outcome was obtained in 40 of 43 operated on of the good-grade patients (Grade I-III), in half of the operated Grade IV patients but exceptionally in Grade V patients.<BR>Although “primary damage” might be the major cause of poor results in poor-grade patients, it was not possible to differentiate primary and secondary damage. To improve surgical results, further investigation on brain protection after initial damage is mandatory.
