“Atypical” Mild Clinical Presentation in Elderly Patients With Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm: Causes and Clinical Characteristics.
Abstract
Thunderclap-like severe headache or consciousness disturbance is the common "typical" clinical presentation after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH); however, a slowly developing "atypical" clinical pattern, with mild headache, vomiting, or dizziness, is frequently noted in elderly patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of this "atypical" subgroup, as well as related factors associated with the presence of these mild symptoms.
