  • Title: [Prognostic value of cerebrospinal fluid fibrinolytic activity in meningeal hemorrhages as a result of aneurysm rupture].
    Author: Rivierez M, Dagreou F, Guggiari M, Ankri A, Crespo B, Philippon J.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1983; 29(2):119-23. PubMed ID: 6888630.
    Abstract:
    26 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured cerebral aneurysms have been reviewed. Fibrinolytic activity of the C.S.F. has been evaluated by the dosage of Fibrin/Fibrinogen degradation products (F.D.P.). When patients have developed clinical signs of ischemia, F.D.P. levels were significantly higher than in those without neurological deficit. Even, if the detection of F.D.P. seems directly correlated to the presence of blood in the C.S.F., there is no direct relation between their level and the importance of S.A.H. as shown by C.T. scan. However when F.D.P. levels are greater than 80 mcg/ml, there is a high risk of vasospasm with clinical signs.
