Influence of aneurysm location on the clinical course of subarachnoid hemorrhage

Significantly more patients in the IT had severe neuropsychological deficits (76.3% vs. 36.0%and 66.7% vs. 26.1%,p¼0.04 and 0.03, respectively) and were unable to work (5.9% vs. 40.0%,p¼0.02 after 12 months) after three and 12 months while no significant differences could be detected at long-term follow-up.The presence of moderate neuropsychological impairments did not significantly differ between the groups at any timepoint.Conclusion: Despite initially being significantly more impaired, patients treated with iaN reach the same functional and neuropsychological outcome at mediumand long-term follow-up as conservatively treated patients suggesting a beneficial effect of iaN on delayed vasospasm after aSAH.
