Diagnosis of Cerebral Aneurysm in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage with Magnetic Resonance (MR) Angiography and Surgical Outcomes at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
The author studied cerebral angiogram in 12 patients who presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage between March 1, 2006 and March 31, 2008. The aim of the study was to diagnose the lesions and to evaluate the definition of cerebral angiographic images by the use of magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and studied operative view of aneurysmal surgery. The images were viewed via PC monitor with good resolution. The print outs could be taken into the operating rooms for viewing during surgical interventions. Eight of twelve cases were found with cerebral aneurysmal and 8 cases were operated. Six of eight surgical cases were used microsurgical aneurysmal clipping. Most patients obtained good results. Twelve point five percent operative mortality rate and 12.5 percent severe morbidity were reported.
