(I60.6) Subarachnoid haemorrhage from other intracranial arteries

Subarachnoid haemorrhage from other intracranial arteries is a condition caused by bleeding from the arteries in the brain due to a tear in the vessel wall. this can happen due to an aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, or trauma. symptoms include a sudden severe headache, vomiting, confusion, stiff neck, and loss of consciousness. treatment typically includes surgery to repair the vessel and medications to reduce swelling and prevent seizures.

Subarachnoid haemorrhage from other intracranial arteries is caused by a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain that leads to bleeding in the subarachnoid space. this can be caused by a number of factors such as high blood pressure, a brain aneurysm, or trauma. the rupture of the vessel causes a sudden increase in pressure, which can lead to a tear in the blood vessel wall and the subsequent bleeding. this can cause a variety of neurological symptoms and can be fatal if left untreated.

Main goal of treatment: To reduce the risk of rebleeding and to prevent further complications.

• Administering medications to reduce intracranial pressure and prevent seizures.
• Performing angiography to identify the source of the bleed.
• Undergoing surgery to repair the damaged artery or to remove the blood clot.
• Monitoring the patient’s vital signs and neurological status.
• Administering anticonvulsants to prevent seizures.
• Providing supportive care and monitoring for secondary complications.
• Providing physical and occupational therapy to help the patient recover.

Prevention of subarachnoid haemorrhage from other intracranial arteries can be achieved through lifestyle modifications such as avoiding smoking, controlling hypertension, and managing diabetes, as well as through regular medical check-ups to monitor for any signs of aneurysm formation. additionally, if an aneurysm is detected, treatment should be sought to prevent rupture.
