Introduction Vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) are complications of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and contribute up to 23% of the disability and deaths from aSAH. The use of intrathecal nicardipine (ITN) as a possible treatment for DCI has been explored with mixed results. We present a retrospective series comparing standard post-aSAH care to standard care plus ITN therapy.
