Background And Purpose: Cerebral vasospasm is a common complication of aneurysmal SAH and remains a risk factor for delayed cerebral ischemia and poor outcome. The interrater reliability of CTA in combination with CTP has not been sufficiently studied. We aimed to investigate the reliability of CTA alone and in combination with CTP in the detection of cerebral vasospasm and the decision to initiate endovascular treatment.

- Cerebral vasospasms are a significant predictor of negative outcomes following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and this study aims to understand their timing and associated factors.
- A retrospective study at a stroke center analyzed data from 368 patients, finding that 135 (41%) developed significant vasospasms, typically 8 days post-hemorrhage.
- Results indicated that younger patients had earlier and longer-lasting vasospasms, highlighting the need for closer monitoring in this high-risk group to improve outcomes.
