Resumen
ROBAINA ALMELO, Yanet et al. Tomographic findings in patients with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Acta méd centro [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.1, pp. 1-15. Epub 31-Mar-2023. ISSN 2709-7927.
Introduction:
cerebrovascular disease is the name given to conditions that cause a transient or permanent brain disorder caused by ischemia or hemorrhage secondary to a pathological process of the blood vessels of the brain.
Objective:
to describe the tomographic findings in patients diagnosed with non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Methods:
a descriptive, longitudinal, prospective research was conducted at the “Arnaldo Milián Castro” Hospital from January 2019 to March 2021. The population consisted of patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage seen in the Imaging Service who underwent simple tomography and angiotomography. Documentary analysis of the study record book of the Imaging Department and the individual clinical history were used; data were collected in a review guide.
Results:
the patients studied were predominantly female and over 50 years of age. CT showed a high sensitivity in the diagnosis of the disease and its etiology and the cause was predominantly aneurysmal. Most aneurysms were saccular, medium-sized, with involvement mainly of the segment of the anterior communicating artery and bifurcation of the middle cerebral artery.
Conclusions:
tomographic findings demonstrate the usefulness of simple tomography as the first study in case of suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage. The usefulness of angiotomography in the etiological diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage is demonstrated.
