Introduction: Parkinsonism may occur after brain lesions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (1), hydrocephalus (2,3), slit ventricle (4), or shunt revision (5).Until now, pathogenesis remains unclear.
Method: Case Report.
Results: We described the case of a 53 years Caucasian male with subarachnoid hemorrhage after anterior communicating artery aneurysm rupture, with subsequent complications and early development of bilateral extrapiramidal symptoms. A DatSCAN showed an impairment of the nigro-sytriatal dopaminergic way. Levodopa therapy induced complete symptoms remission.
Conclusions: Patient developed Parkinson Disease responding to Levodopa. Subarachnoid hemorrhage itself, shunt placement and revision, hydrocephalus, slit ventricle: all of these complications occurred and could be possible causes of shear, torsion, and ischemia of the nigrostriatal projection fibres.

Background And Aim: (AM) is a traditional Chinese herb. Our previous study revealed that AM can enhance neurological function in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to investigated the effects of AM on patients with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Background And Purpose: Lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with a high risk of recurrence, particularly in elderly patients, where cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is often the primary cause. Diagnostic markers of CAA-related ICH, including subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and finger-like projection (FLP), have recently been developed. Here, we aimed to explore the associations between SAH, FLP and the risk of ICH recurrence in lobar ICH patients.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram to predict the risk of sepsis in non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients using data from the MIMIC-IV database.
Methods: A total of 803 SAH patients meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a training set (563 cases) and a validation set (240 cases). Independent prognostic factors were identified through forward stepwise logistic regression, and a nomogram was created based on these factors.

Early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a clear correlation with poor prognosis. In the past 20 years, the research on EBI has increased rapidly. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis related to EBI.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of preoperative intracerebral hematoma volume (HVpre), hematoma volume 6-8 days post-surgery (HVpost), and the rate of hematoma volume change (HVpre-HVpost)/HVpre on the prognosis of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
Materials And Methods: CT imaging data from 62 aSAH patients admitted to our hospital's Neurosurgery Department between January 2022 and December 2023 were obtained, both preoperatively and 6-8 days postoperatively. The hematoma volumes were measured using 3D-Slicer.
