Article Synopsis
  • Cerebral vasospasm (CV) after tumor resection is uncommon but linked to serious complications, prompting a study into its risk factors.

  • Symptoms usually include altered mental status and weakness, often occurring within the first two weeks post-surgery, and the condition can lead to high mortality rates and significant long-term deficits.
