Abstract

The diagnosis, management and long-term implications of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage continue to be a multidisciplinary challenge. Often, the patients present to emergency or primary care physicians not particularly experienced in the differential diagnosis of headache. In most cases of a proven hemorrhage (aneurysm rupture in 85%), further treatment will require the discussion between experienced neurosurgeons and neuroradiologists whether to 'clip or coil'. Thus, subarachnoid hemorrhage is the first cerebrovascular disorder where a multidisciplinary approach has become the evidence-based standard of care. Patients with this condition are relatively young, and the survivors have a good life expectancy. Their neurologic, cognitive and psychiatric morbidity, risk of recurrent bleeding and elevated risk of other vascular diseases remain underestimated tasks for long-term care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
