A previously healthy 60 year old female patient was admitted to a local hospital with sudden onset of giddiness, headache and loss of consciousness on 18th May, 04. A CT scan of the brain done revealed a subarachnoid haemorrhage with intraventricular extension and mild hydrocephalus. The patient was intubated and mechanically ventilated, and an extraventricular drain was inserted to decrease the intracranial pressure. Two days later the patient was transferred to our institution for further management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
