Multicenter StudyCharacteristics of patients without neuropsychological deficits following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Previous studies have shown that the incidence of neuropsychological deficits (NPD) after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is high despite excellent outcome evaluated by traditional neurological grading scales. The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical characteristics in patients presenting with aSAH who had a good clinical outcome without NPD. ⋯ Patients without NPD after aSAH are likely to present with mild admission scores, develop neither chronic hydrocephalus nor DCI. In this series the aneurysm occlusion modality did not influence the cognitive outcome.
