Sick sinus syndrome following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A case report.

Abstract Cerebral arterial vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients surviving the initial hemorrhage. Once established, no known method has been shown to reverse this process in humans. Although intravascular volume expansion and induced arterial hypertension have been shown to be effective in the reversal of neurological deficits secondary to vasospasm, a large proportion of patients remain refractory to these methods. We report one such case successfully managed by the estalishment of an extracranial-intracranial anastomosis in an attempt to augment collateral flow.

Cardiopulmonary Failure

The authors report on a 57-year-old woman in whom progression to brain death occurred on day 9 after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage without evidence of significant brain edema or vasospasm. Neuromonitoring demonstrated that brain death was preceded by a series of cortical spreading depolarizations that occurred in association with progressive hypoxic episodes. The depolarizations induced final electrical silence in the cortex and ended with a terminal depolarization that persisted > 7 hours. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of terminal spreading depolarization in the human brain prior to clinical brain death and major cardiopulmonary failure.
