Summary

Emergency surgery for ruptured cerebral aneurysms within 48 hours shows an 87% good outcome. This approach reduces delayed neurological ischemia compared to delayed surgery, improving patient survival rates.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neurology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured cerebral aneurysms poses risks of re-rupture and delayed ischemic complications.
  • Early intervention aims to mitigate these acute and subacute neurological deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of emergency surgical intervention for ruptured cerebral aneurysms within 48 hours.
  • To compare the incidence of delayed neurological ischemia and vasospasm between acute and delayed surgical groups.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 150 consecutive cases of ruptured cerebral aneurysms operated on within 48 hours.
  • Comparison with an equal number of unoperated cases presenting within 48 hours.
  • Assessment of surgical outcomes, including excellent and good outcomes.

  • Evaluation of delayed neurological ischemia and clinical vasospasm incidence.

    • Main Results:

    • 87% of surgically treated patients achieved an excellent or good outcome.
    • The incidence of delayed neurological ischemia as a cause of death was lower in the acute surgical group compared to the delayed surgery group.
    • Overall clinical vasospasm incidence did not significantly differ between acute and delayed surgery groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Emergency surgery for ruptured cerebral aneurysms within 48 hours is associated with favorable outcomes.
    • Acute surgical management appears to reduce mortality from delayed neurological ischemia.
    • Timely surgical intervention is crucial for improving patient prognosis after aneurysm rupture.
