  • Title: Emergency surgery for haematoma-forming aneurysmal haemorrhage.
    Author: Page RD, Richardson PL.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 1990; 4(3):199-204. PubMed ID: 2397045.
    Abstract:
    Patients with intracerebral haematomas (ICH) secondary to aneurysmal bleeds usually have a poor prognosis or die if treated conservatively. Younger patients with rupture of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm and temporal haematomas have the potential to return to useful life. They should be assessed separately from other subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) patients and considered for emergency surgery. Seven such cases are presented, five made an acceptable recovery. The experience of other units as represented in the literature is considered.
