Early brain injury and cognitive impairment after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage

Abstract The first 72 h following aneurysm rupture play a key role in determining clinical and cognitive outcomes after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Yet, very little is known about the impact of so called “early brain injury” on patents with clinically good grade SAH (as defined as World Federati...
