Cerebral vasospasm is a state in which the blood vessels in the brain constrict, reducing blood flow to the brain and causing brain tissue death. The Circle of Willis, a place at the base of the brain that connects the large arteries in the brain, is the most commonly involved vessel. This condition typically occurs in patients following a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a type of brain bleed caused by a ruptured aneurysm. Cerebral vasospasm affects up to 75% of patients who survive a subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, only 30% of these are symptomatic in the form of cognitive deficits. Intracranial spasm's arterial contraction typically develops a few days after the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm and lasts 2 to 3 weeks. Symptomatic vasospasm was independently associated with reduced instrumental activities of daily living, cognitive impairment, and poor quality of life in our study, but not with death or severe disability. DCI appears to be both the most inclusive and clinically mean...
