Outcome and Mortality of Post Clipping Ruptured Cerebral Aneurysm Patients – Our Experience of 20 Cases
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
This is an observational analytic study on cerebral aneurysms. All the patients who underwent craniotomy for aneurysm clipping have been included in this study. Place of study was Square Hospitals Ltd. Dhaka and period of study was 2 years. Most of the patients were male. Male female ratio was 1:1.2. Highest number of the aneurysms was located in anterior communicating artery (A Com A) (45%). Next common location was middle cerebral artery (MCA) (35%). More than half of the patients were of world federation of neurological surgeons (WFNS) grade-1 type. One fifth patients were in grade-IV group. Post operative good recovery was achieved in 65% of cases. We lost 10% of our patients after surgery. Mortality rate and good outcome of our patients shows a similarity with those of International Cooperative study.
