| Popis: | Introduction: Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH) is a distinct form of stroke characterised by bleeding in the subarachnoid space. The incidence of SAH is influenced by various factors, including age, gender, and geographic location. Aim: To evaluate age and sex-related anatomical variation in vessel diameters of the Circle of Willis (CoW) in patients with SAH in Eastern India. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive analysis was conducted on patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms who were admitted to the Institute of Neurosciences in Kolkata and diagnosed with SAH using brain computed tomography between January 2014 and September 2015. Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) was performed on 50 patients, aged 15 to 70 years. The vessel diameters of CoW components were measured using specialised software. Statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney test was conducted to assess differences in vessel diameters based on age and sex. Results: The results showed that older patients (≤40 years) had larger vessel diameters compared to younger patients ( |
