Abstract:
The author reviewed 294 cases of surgically treated cerebral aneurysms during the period from January, 1987 to December, 1992. The results were as follow: The sex ratio between male and female was 1:1.53 and the mean age was 51.3 years. 2) At admission, 220 patients were in relatively good neurologic condition and functional recovery was obtained in 229 patients(78%). 3) The most common site was anterior communicating artery and the number of posterior circulation aneurysms was 12(4%). 4) The incidence of multiple aneurysms was 4% and clinical vasospasm was observed in 19% of the patients. 5) Operative mortality was 8.8% and the prognostic factors were related with age, sex, history of hypertension, amount of SAH, size and site of aneurysm, preoperative neurologic state, clinical vasospasm, and timing of operation.
