    Author: Kamiya K, Inagawa T, Yamamoto M, Monden S.
    Journal: Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo); 1991 Feb; 31(2):82-6. PubMed ID: 1715041.
    Abstract:
    Subdural hematoma (SDH) was observed in 15 of 484 cases of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). There were four males and 11 females, with ages ranging from 39 to 75 years. The clinical grades (Hunt and Hess) on admission were 11 in three cases, III in two, IV in four, and V in six. The ruptured aneurysms were located in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) in six cases, anterior communicating artery in three, internal carotid artery in two, and distal anterior cerebral artery (ACA) in two, with two cases unconfirmed. A high proportion of aneurysms occurred in the MCA and distal ACA. Aneurysmal neck clipping and removal of SDH were performed in the acute stage of seven cases, without intraoperative rerupture. The outcomes 1 year after SAH of the seven patients undergoing surgery were good recovery in five, but in two, vegetative state due to preoperative rerupture or medical complications. All eight patients without surgical intervention died. A good prognosis for patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms accompanied by SDH can be expected with direct surgical intervention in the acute stage, even if the clinical grade on admission is poor.
