Study of Brain Computerized Tomography Angiography In Patients With Subarachnoid Haeamorahage ‫

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.
