Cerebrospinal fluid markers of neuroinflammation and coagulation in severe cerebral edema and chronic hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage: a prospective study

Early severe cerebral edema and chronic hydrocephalus are the primary cause of poor prognosis in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study investigated the role of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inflammatory cytokines and coagulation factors in the development of severe cerebral edema and chronic hydrocephalus in patients with SAH.
