TL;DR: A simple quantitative scale based on maximal SAH thickness was developed and was superior to the Fisher scale in inter- and intraobserver agreement and in predicting symptomatic vasospasm, particularly among the highest-risk patients.

TL;DR: This review critically reviewed the literature to elucidate the risks and benefits of different graft types and to clarify optimal treatment options therein and did not support the superiority of either autologous or nonautologous grafts when duraplasty is employed.

TL;DR: Compared with adults, pediatric patients with BSCMs tend to have larger lesions and higher rates of recurrence (regrowth of residual lesion), given the greater life expectancy of children, surgical treatment seems warranted in those with surgically accessible lesions that have bled.

TL;DR: The location of a ruptured aneurysm minimally affects the maximum thickness of the SAH clot but is predictive of symptomatic vasospasm or clinical deterioration from delayed cerebral ischemia in pericallosalAneurysms.

TL;DR: A substantial minority of poor-grade SAH patients will experience delayed recovery beyond the point at which most studies assess outcome, and younger patients, those presenting in better clinical condition, and those without CT evidence of large or eloquent stroke demonstrated the highest capacity for delayed recovery.
