Abstract
Background: Cerebral damage after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) results from various, sometimes unrelated causes. After the initial hemorrhage trauma with an increase in intracranial pressure, induced vasoconstriction, but also microcirculatory disturbances, inflammation and pathological electrophysiological processes (cortical spreading depolarization) can occur in the course of the disease, resulting in delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI). In the neuroradiological context, cerebral vasospasm (CVS) remains the focus of diagnostic imaging and endovascular therapy as a frequent component of the genesis of DCI.
Methods: The amount of blood leaked during aneurysm rupture (which can be detected by CT, for example) correlates with the occurrence and severity of CVS. CT perfusion is then an important component in determining the indication for endovascular spasm therapies (EST). These include intra-arterial drug administration (also as long-term microcatheter treatment) and mechanical procedures (balloon angioplasty, vasodilatation using other instruments such as stent retrievers, stenting).
Conclusion: This review summarizes the current findings on the diagnosis and treatment of CVS after aneurysmal SAH from a neuroradiological perspective, taking into account the complex and up-to-date international literature.
Key points: · Vasospasm is a frequent component of the multifactorial genesis of delayed cerebral ischemia after SAH and remains the focus of diagnosis and treatment in the neuroradiological context.. · The initial extent of SAH on CT is associated with the occurrence and severity of vasospasm.. · CT perfusion is an important component in determining the indication for endovascular spasm therapy.. · Endovascular spasm therapies include local administration of medication (also as long-term therapies with microcatheters) and mechanical procedures (balloon angioplasty, dilatation using other devices such as stent retreivers, stenting)..

期刊介绍:
Die RöFo veröffentlicht Originalarbeiten, Übersichtsartikel und Fallberichte aus dem Bereich der Radiologie und den weiteren bildgebenden Verfahren in der Medizin. Es dürfen nur Arbeiten eingereicht werden, die noch nicht veröffentlicht sind und die auch nicht gleichzeitig einer anderen Zeitschrift zur Veröffentlichung angeboten wurden. Alle eingereichten Beiträge unterliegen einer sorgfältigen fachlichen Begutachtung.
Gegründet 1896 – nur knapp 1 Jahr nach der Entdeckung der Röntgenstrahlen durch C.W. Röntgen – blickt die RöFo auf über 100 Jahre Erfahrung als wichtigstes Publikationsmedium in der deutschsprachigen Radiologie zurück. Sie ist damit die älteste radiologische Fachzeitschrift und schafft es erfolgreich, lange Kontinuität mit dem Anspruch an wissenschaftliches Publizieren auf internationalem Niveau zu verbinden. Durch ihren zentralen Platz im Verlagsprogramm stellte die RöFo die Basis für das heute umfassende und erfolgreiche Radiologie-Medienangebot im Georg Thieme Verlag.
Besonders eng verbunden ist die RöFo mit der Geschichte der Röntgengesellschaften in Deutschland und Österreich. Sie ist offizielles Organ von DRG und ÖRG und die Mitglieder der Fachgesellschaften erhalten die Zeitschrift im Rahmen ihrer Mitgliedschaft. Mit ihrem wissenschaftlichen Kernteil und dem eigenen Mitteilungsteil der Fachgesellschaften bietet die RöFo Monat für Monat ein Forum für den Austausch von Inhalten und Botschaften der radiologischen Community im deutschsprachigen Raum.
