Abstract
The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate outcome predictors for patients of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. In this study patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm managed by surgery in this single institute from January 2011 to June 2017 were included. A uniform management protocol was adopted which included early surgery, post op ICU care and aggressive anti vasospasm treatment.
Methods: Retrospectively data of 124 patients was collected and reviewed. The patients were graded according to WFNS and Modified Fischer scoring, size of aneurysm, projections and outcomes were assessed at the time of discharge and after 3 months on the basis of modified Rankin scale.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that preoperative score and postoperative Hydrocephalus are the factors determining outcome in patients with ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
Keywords: Aneurysm, Ruptured Anterior communicating artery aneurysm, Modified Rankin scale, Outcome.
