Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non traumatic SAH documented by CT scan
  • Patient with SAH who would need external ventricular drain (EVD) for the management of hydrocephalus
  • Patients with normal pressure Hydrocephalus that require an external drain
  • Control (non - hemorrhagic) group - CSF collected from patients with posterior fossa tumor or stroke with EVD in place for the management of hydrocephalus.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Recent infection within last 1 month of presentation- can increase inflammatory markers
  • Recent surgery or acute myocardial infarction within last 1 month of presentation
  • Age > 89 years or < 18 years

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
SAH Patients
Patients admitted with the diagnosis of aneurismal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and cerebral angiogram negative SAH who would need to have the external ventricular drain (EVD) placed for the management of hydrocephalus.
Control Patients
Patients with non-hemorrhagic brain pathology such as posterior fossa tumor or stroke who will have the CSF sampling for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
