Preferred Label : subarachnoid hemorrhage;
RADLEX synonyms : subarach hem; SAH;
Definition : Hemorrhage within the intracranial or spinal subarachnoid space, most often resulting
from intracranial aneurysm rupture or craniocerebral trauma (see also subarachnoid
hemorrhage, traumatic). Clinical features include headache; nausea; vomiting, nuchal
rigidity, variable neurologic deficits, intraocular subhyaloid hemorrhages, and a
reduced level of consciousness which may progress to coma or death. Spasm of intracranial
arteries (see vasospasm, intracranial) frequently accompanies this condition and may
lead to brain ischemia or cerebral infarction. (From n engl j med 1997 Jan 2;336(1):28-40)
