ABSTRACT

Isotope cisternography using high specific activity IHSA was performed on 21 patients following subarachnoid hemorrhage from various sources. Ten of these were found to have communicating hydrocephalus. There was a higher incidence of communicating hydrocephalus in patients with aneurysms about the Circle of Willis than in those with middle cerebral or posterior cerebral artery aneurysms.
