Vasospasm Monitored by Transcranial Doppler
Journal Title: Neuro – Open Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Vasospasm almost always occurs following rupture of an aneurysm in the Circle of Willis. Spasm is less likely in peripherally located aneurysms, for example those complicating bacterial endocarditis. For a day or two spasm is often absent or minimal. If the patient’s condition is good, many surgeons will proceed at this time either with surgery or endovascular placement of coils in the aneurysm to make it undergo thrombosis.
