Popis: Vasospasm is a common sequela of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Early surgery and cisternal irrigation facilitate care of the patient in vasospasm, but meticulous attention to the details and timing of interventions is critical, and care must be highly individualized. The incidence of aneurysmal SAH is 6–16 per 100,000 population, and angiographic vasospasm is seen in about 75% of such patients, generally between days 4 and 10 following SAH [1–4]. Symptomatic vasospasm is seen in about 30% of cases [5].
