Key result
Blood distributed in the anterior, lateral, and basal regions was associated with a 70.8% incidence of acute hydrocephalus, significantly higher than in patients without this distribution (P=0.010).

Blood distribution pattern may stratify acute hydrocephalus risk after SAH; leaves open prospective validation before guiding monitoring or interventions.

What factors are related to the development of acute hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage?
p-value: p=0.010
Acute hydrocephalus following subarachnoid hemorrhage is positively correlated with the amount of subarachnoid and intraventricular blood, supporting its mechanism as an obstructive form of hydrocephalus.
Jartti et al. (2004) conducted an observational in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=180). Blood distributed in the anterior, lateral, and basal regions vs. Blood not distributed in all three areas was evaluated on Acute hydrocephalus (p=0.010). Blood distributed in the anterior, lateral, and basal regions was associated with a 70.8% incidence of acute hydrocephalus, significantly higher than in patients without this distribution (P=0.010).
