Abstract

Background. The incidence of chronic hydrocephalus requiring shunt placement is a well-known and common complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). It was suggested that fenestration of the lamina terminalis (LT) during microsurgery for aSAH may be associated with a reduced rate of shunt-dependent chronic hydrocephalus (SDCH). We analyzed that, fenestrations of the LT and Liliequist membrane (LM) would reduce rate of SDCH and improve rate of favorable outcome.
