| Summary: |
Subarachnoid haemorrhage
is a potentially devastating condition, featured by high
rates of morbidity and mortality. The source of bleeding
is usually an aneurysm of a major cerebral artery. It is
a common belief that before its rupture the aneurysm
most often is asymptomatic. Nevertheless such opinions
are not supported by the relevant literature. Careful
clinical observations support a notion that warning
symptoms are usually present in more than 50% of
cerebral aneurysms. As the aneurysms often come in
contact with oculomotoric and optic nerves, a good part
of warning symptoms are those related to the visual
system. The paper reviews ocular signs and symptoms
related to cerebral aneurysms in their most frequent
particular locations. |
