| Abstract |
Objective
To evaluate the occurrence caused by acute subarachnoid hemorrhage by the use of magnetic resonance Fluid-attenuated inversion
recovery (FLAIR) imaging in geriatric age patients.
Methods
Magnetic resonance imaging including Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) was performed in 30 patients with spontaneous
subarachnoid hemorrhage by use of a 1.5-T magnetic resonance image from August 2009 to December 2011. In all cases, computed tomographic
and magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained at the time of admission, before angiography and surgical intervention.
Results
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage was identified in 25 patients with CT and 30 patients with MRI. Mean age was 72.3 years
(65-83 years), Male to female ratio was 1:2. The percentage of the anterior communicating artery aneurysm was 46.7%, the percentage of the
internal carotid artery aneurysm was 26.7%.
Conclusion
FLAIR MR image is able to detect Fisher grade I of the hyperacute spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in geriatric age
patients. |
