Background: Symptomatic cerebral vasospasms are deleterious complication of the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm and potentially lethal. The existing scales used to classify the initial presentation of a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) offer a blink of the outcome and the possibility of occurrence of symptomatic cerebral vasospasms. Altogether, neither are they sufficient to predict outcome or occurrence of events reliably nor do they offer a united front.

Research Question: To analyze a correlation of the SARS-CoV2-infection and the incidence of aSAH, and to assess the impact of the pandemic-lockdown on the incidence, the outcome and the course of patients suffering from aSAH and/or aneurysms.

Background: We assess the impact of lockdown in Germany due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence and outcome of neurotrauma emergencies at a tertiary medical center.
Methods: All neurosurgical emergencies from March 16, 2020 (first lockdown in Germany) to January 31, 2021 were included and compared with a longitudinal case-cohort. Cases were descriptively recorded and retrospectively analyzed with respect to incidence and outcome.
