Editorial[Guidelines for diagnosis and management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: top issues and prospective].
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a kind of hemorrhagic stroke with high mortality and morbidity. Although the preoperative diagnosis, surgical clipping, endovascular treatment, and intensive care have progressed in recent years, the overall prognosis of aSAH patients remains poor. In 2011, the Neurocritical Care Society organized an international, multidisciplinary consensus conference addressed the critical care management of SAH. ⋯ Thus, the diagnosis and management of aSAH is a hot topic in neurosurgery. This editorial summarizes the above mentioned guidelines and focuses on the progress and update of these guidelines. In this article we discuss the advantage and disadvantage of those imaging techniques, the pros and cons of surgical clipping and endovascular treatment.
