		The intracerebral hematomas were more frequent for the aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (16 cases69.5%) followed by the aneurysm on the anterior communication artery (five cases-21.7%) whilst they were rare for the intracranial aneurisms of the internal carotid artery and bifurcation (2 cases-8.6%).
		It is generally agreed that the surgical risk in aneurism surgery is strictly related to the patients condition as well as to other factor as age, location of the aneurysm, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, chronic pulmonary disease.

		The following data has been analyzed: age, sex, clinical condition expressed in Hunt-Hess scale and level of consciousness in GCS scale on admission, presence of arterial hypertension, volume of haematoma, degree of ventricular involvement in Graeb's scale, presence of hydrocephalus, oedema and compression of the basal cisterns, and midline displacement.
		15 (13.6%) patients were classified as 1st grade in GOS scale, 19 (17.3%) - as 2nd, 14 (12.7%) - as 3rd, 3 (2.7%) - as 4th, 59 (53.6%) - as 5th.
		The predictors of poor outcome appeared to be: advanced age, IV and V group in Hunt-Hess classification, II, III, IV group in Graeb's scale, midline shift more than 5 mm., volume of the haematoma more than 50 ml., high blood pressure and advanced age.

		Other immediate strategies to protect the brain during stroke include ensuring that blood sugar is as normal as possible (such as commencement of an insulin sliding scale in known diabetics), and that the stroke patient is receiving adequate oxygen and intravenous fluids.
		The patient may be positioned so that his or her head is flat on the stretcher, rather than sitting up, since studies have shown that this increases blood flow to the brain.
		Strategies to protect the brain during this type of stroke include blood sugar and blood pressure control, adequate oxygen and intravenous fluids, detection and treatment of the cause of bleeding, and constant monitoring (e.g.

		The risk of short term re-rupture increases dramatically after an aneurysm has bled, though after approximately 6 weeks the risk returns to baseline.
		In outlining symptoms of ruptured cerebral aneurysm, it is useful to make use of the Hunt and Hess scale of subarachnoid hemorrhage severity:
		It is less useful prognostically than the Hunt-Hess Scale.

		Since Botterell in 1956 and later Hunt and Hess in 1968 presented a scheme for preoperative grading of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients, it became clear that a poor preoperative clinical condition is related to increased mortality and morbidity.
		The criteria used to decide which poor-grade patients with SAH are irreparably brain-damaged and which autoregulation disorders are irreversible are not clear.
		Patients were followed for a minimum of 6 months and their outcomes categorized using a four-tiered scale: 1) independent and working, 2) impaired but independent, 3) severely impaired and dependent, and 4) dead.

		Both use Avsholomov's personal, oriental-sounding scales but whereas the former retains an identifiably American celebratory formality, the latter makes use of a richly enhanced percussion section to underline its exotic nature (its first reviewer, in the New York Herald-Tribune, said he "expected Fu Manchu to appear any minute").

		In both parts of the study, there was a dramatic improvement at 3 months in those patients who received t-PA. The investigators demonstrated that the number of patients with complete or almost complete recovery was increased by 30% or more as measured by four different medical outcome scales.
		For every 100 patients receiving t-PA, at least 11 more had an excellent recovery compared to the group that did not receive t-PA. The overall odds in favor of the t-PA-treated group were 1.7 times greater than the placebo group.
