Intracranial XXXX following @entity1756 : experience with 309 cases.

@entity1 @entity3439 @entity548 @entity438 @entity510 @entity16 @entity245 @entity772 @entity1410 @entity439 @entity2075 @entity21915 @entity2553 @entity1756
Three hundred and nine consecutive cases of @entity2075 due to @entity1756 --representing 34% of the total number of @entity1 with @entity439 observed in a 12-year period--were evaluated; of these, 211 were submitted to computed tomography scan. @entity1410 were present on admission in 71% of @entity1 and occurred at rebleeding in 29%. @entity438 caused an @entity2075 more frequently than @entity439 in other locations. Ventricular @entity1410 were frequently observed--especially at rebleeding--in cases with anterior communicating @entity438 . @entity21915 were detected in eight cases with internal carotid bifurcation @entity439 and in three with @entity438 . @entity3439 were observed in 32 cases, mainly due to @entity438 . As for clinical evolution, a rapid deterioration was observed in 39% of cases and a chronic course in 46%; a subacute deterioration was far less frequent. @entity245 from @entity2553 was observed in 8% of cases, and appeared to be related to the amount of @entity510 associated with the @entity1410 . One hundred and forty-two @entity1 were submitted to surgical treatment (evacuation of @entity1410 together with exclusion of @entity439 ); deep @entity772 , poor medical condition, stabilized @entity16 , or combinations of these factors accounted for the high number of @entity1 not operated upon. Regardless of treatment, 24% of @entity1 showed good results and 58% died. Presence of a large @entity1410 , @entity548 , and shift of the ventricles represented significant risk factors, associated with a poor prognosis. A comparison between two groups of @entity1 admitted within 3 days of @entity548 --47 operated on early, and 149 with delayed treatment--showed that better results were achieved by early operations, especially for cases in Hunt's grades IV and V.
