Topical lidocaine in treatment of cerebral vasospasm
Surgical Neurology
|July 1, 1975
Abstract:
Relief of segmental spasm in monkeys was obtained using topical lidocaine after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage. Dilatation of spastic vessels was also observed in patients following lidocaine application during operations. The segments of arteries approximating the clipped aneurysm were noted to be dilated angiographically in certain cases.
