Abstract:
:In patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, delayed neurological deficits, often followed by infarction, are believed to result from ischemia caused by vasospasm. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) data have been useful in predicting the risk of vasospasm in these patients and in distinguishing those deficits caused by vasospasm. Although CBF thresholds for infarction have been established in animals, few clinical studies have correlated CBF values with neurological symptoms and infarction. To assess the sensitivity to ischemia provided by xenon-enhanced computed tomography (Xe/CT) of CBF and to define the clinical significance of specific values that it measures, we compared the clinical, CT, and Xe/CT findings on CBF in 51 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured aneurysms. Each patient had 1 to 6 Xe/CT studies. Fourteen patients had symptomatic vasospasm. In all 14, the first post deficit Xe/CT study found abruptly reduced CBF, either regionally or globally. In 9 of these 14 patients, flow values fell below 15 ml/100 g/min in 2 or more adjacent 2-cm cortical regions of interest, and in all 9, concurrent follow-up CT scans showed infarction in these regions. Eight of the 9 had paralysis and a severe sensory deficit. No patient whose CBF remained above 18 ml/100 g/min developed infarction. The blood flow studies caused neither significant complications nor neurological deterioration. The Xe/CT CBF method appears very sensitive to the early detection of symptomatic vasospasm. In most patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, this noninvasive technique can replace angiography to delineate the location and severity of vasospasm, and may be useful in predicting the development of infarction.
