Identification of clinical and paraclinical findings predictive for headache occurrence during spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage

Non traumatic (spontaneous) subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) represents about 5% of cerebrovascular pathology and it is associated with the significant rate of complications such as rebleeding (within first four weeks), with significant mortality (up to half of patients die within three weeks) and long term disability (a third of survivors remain dependent) [1 –3]. Unfortunately, the initially presenting symptoms of SAH are manifold and can be subtle and overlap with commonly frequent conditions, such as coexisting patients‘ diseases or its complications.
