Abstract:
The aim To assess the diagnostic accuracy of CTA and three dimensional
computed tomography - angiography (3D-CTA) for the detection of
cerebral aneurysm in the patients of spontaneous subarachnoid
hemorrhage (SAH). This prospective study extended from 1st November
2007 to 1st February 2010. All the patients of spontaneous SAH were
included in the study. Plain computed tomography (CT) head followed by
computed tomographic angiography (CTA) was done in all patients using
multi-slice spiral CT scan. and the result is From a total 50 patients with
different age and gender diagnosed as SAH in the study they found 46%
of patient complain of headache and 50% complain of headache + neck
stiffness . after contrast administration 56% of patient diagnosed as
aneurismal dilatation, 8% AVM, 14% AVM + aneurysm and 22% of
patient no AVM or aneurysm. According to site they found that the right
side 56% and the left side is 44%. The percentage of the male 52% is
greater than the female 10% in the final diagnosis (rupture aneurism) and
the p- value equal 0.004.
