Abstract
A series of 76 poor-grade (Hunt and Hess IV and V) patients after aneu rysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and early operation, was investigated in terms of post-operative outcome. The overall outcome was favourable in 41 (54%) patients and unfavourable in 35 (46%) patients. The morta lity rate of 28% in all poor-grade patients after early surgery was ac ceptable, compared to mortality rates ranging from approximately 95% t o 100% in regimes with nonsurgical treatment.
