- Spontaneous or non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) accounts for about 80% of cases and has a high rate of death and complications. Diagnosis of SAH can be challenging and critical. Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) due to cerebral vasospasm and acute hydrocephalus after SAH are major complications and continue to be the leading causes of death and disability following SAH. Characteristics of spontaneous SAH are diverse, comprise clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedure, specific complications, principles of management, definite treatment to the aneurysm, and prognosis. Spontaneous SAH is a major life experience that leads to additional morbidity in up to 25% of surviving patients.Keywords: subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral ischemia, acute hydrocephalus, diagnostic procedure, morbidity
