The clinical course and outcomes of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages in a single-center retrospective study.

Non-aneurysmal SAH seems to have a good prognosis for majority of patients, especially for patients with a PSAH. Non-aneurysmal SAH patients are however affected by vasospasm and hydrocephalus and have similar risk factors for poor outcome as patients with aneurysmal SAH. This suggests that it is the severity of the bleed rather than the etiology that associates with poor outcome.
