Summary

Delayed traumatic vasospasm after head injury can cause delayed ischemic symptoms. This study highlights CT and angiographic findings in six patients, noting vasospasm in major cerebral arteries.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Delayed traumatic vasospasm pathogenesis remains unclear.
  • Head injuries from traffic accidents are a common cause.
  • Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores varied, indicating diverse injury severity.

Observation:

  • Initial CT scans revealed mild subarachnoid hemorrhage in 4 cases and brain contusions in 5 patients.
  • Ischemic symptoms manifested 5-13 days post-injury.
  • Cerebral angiograms showed vasospasm in all patients, affecting major cerebral arteries.

Findings:

  • Vasospasm was bilateral in 2 cases and often ipsilateral to cerebral contusions.
  • Angiographic vasospasm duration ranged from 2 to 5 weeks.
  • Outcomes varied, with good recovery in 3 patients and severe disability or vegetative states in 2 elderly patients with bilateral spasms.

Implications:

  • Understanding traumatic vasospasm is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
  • CT and angiography are vital for identifying vasospasm and associated injuries.
  • Patient age and spasm laterality may influence prognosis after head trauma.
