Abstract:

Aneurismal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) accounts for about 5% of all cerebrovascular disease. It´s a common and frequently devastating condition. In South America, estimated incidence is 9.1 cases for 100.000 population. American and European guidelines advise endovascular treatment in highly specialized centers. However, developing countries lack sometimes of such centers. In Colombia, due to our health system . endovascular centers are just emerging and maturing. We compare our surgical series of the last 10 years with the result of endovascular centers, showing that, despite those centers are relatively new, results are comparable to those on the literature. Surgery also shows an important and prevailing role in contemporary treatment of subarachnoid haemorrhage.
