Case ReportsRebleeding from vertebral artery dissection after proximal clipping. Case report.
The authors present the case of a patient with vertebral artery dissection that rebled after being treated by proximal clipping. This is the second report of such a case. The results indicated that proximal clipping is not free from the risk of rebleeding, and a better alternative surgical technique should always be sought when treating vertebral artery dissections.

The cardiopulmonary complications of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: current trends in management.
It is well established that excessive sympathetic activity, resulting in the development of cardiopulmonary complications, commonly occurs in patients who have suffered aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Cardiac dysfunction and neurogenic pulmonary edema are life threatening conditions that have serious implications with regard to patient outcome. The purpose of this article is to familiarize the neuroscience practitioner with the effects of subarachnoid haemorrhage on the heart and lungs and to provide an update in terms of current medical and nursing management trends. ⋯ A brief review of the anatomy and physiology of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system will be presented. In addition, the theories that have been proposed to explain the underlying pathogenesis will be introduced. Medical and nursing management strategies will also be addressed.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting from methanol intoxication: demonstration by computed tomography.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage developed in a patient intoxicated with methanol. Computed tomography performed at the time of admission suggested this complication. The hemorrhage was definite and extensive by the 5th day after admission and was accompanied by left caudate and pontine hemorrhage, as well as severe cerebral edema. The authors are unaware of any previous reports of subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with ingestion of methanol.
