There continues to be considerable controversy over the management of the patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage. The indications for surgery are not clearly defined. There is a need for detailed study of the long-term prognosis of ruptured, intracranial aneurysms, conservatively and surgically treated.1Aneurysms of the circle of Willis are the single most common cause of bleeding, but in many instances the origin of the subarachnoid hemorrhage is obscure, in spite...Bibliography1.
