80歳以上の超高齢者のくも膜下出血の予後 : 当院25症例から  [in Japanese] Prognosis of SAH Patients Over 80 Years : 25 Cases  [in Japanese]

We analyzed the outcome of 25 SAH patients who were over 80 years old. We performed early operations on SAH patients between the ages of 80 and 85, and intentionally delayed operations on patients over 85 years of age (7 cases with neck clipping and 3 cases with endovascular coil embolization). Four of 10 patients in the operative group (40%) had favorable outcomes. The risk factors that worsened the outcome were cerebral vasospasm and general complications. All in the non-operative group had a poor outcome. In elderly SAH patients, an acceptable treatment plan must be made from a social and economic viewpoint.
