Xanthochromia, the yellow discoloration of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) caused by hemoglobin catabolism, is classically thought to arise within several hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The presence of xanthochromic supernatant is often used to distinguish the elevated red blood cell (RBC) ...

The angiopathy of subarachnoid hemorrhage: angiographic and morphologic correlates. In patients with , particularly hemorrhage due to aneurysmal rupture, there was a positive significant relation between angiographic vessel constriction and vessel pathology (). Furthermore, there was a positive relationship ...
Today, stroke is the second most frequent cause of death and the most frequent cause of invalidity. In about 80% of cases, stroke is caused by cerebral ischemia and in about 20% by intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoidal hemorrhage, venous thrombosis and other cerebrovascular diseases. The brain...

Clinical findings are not only confined to subarachnoid hemorrhage but may also comprise mass effects, headaches or neurological deficits. In traumatic aneurysms, the skull base and distal anterior communicating artery are commonly affected, and the hemorrhage occurs often delayed (2-4 weeks following ...
Subarachnoid HemorrhageHydrocephalusTomography, X-Ray ComputedIn some patients with congenital or acquired hydrocephalus, a low-density area is seen around the lateral ventricle on computerized tomography. Above all, in patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus following subarachnoid hemorrhage, there appears...
A subdural hemorrhage is generally the result of a rotational acceleration of the head of a boxer that leads to the rupture of bridging veins. External bruises of the face can be completely missing or can be quite minimal. The autopsy of the brain of a boxer revealed subarachnoid hemorrhages ...
