Abstract
The patients of ruptured intracranial aneurysm admitted to the Okayama University and affiliated hospitals have been reviewed. Among 250 aneurysm cases, 91 were admitted within 3 weeks since the last hemorrhage, and 84 suitable patients were included in this study, excluding 5 cases of incomplete statement and 2 cases of deaths evidently caused by surgical technical failure.
A new trial of grading of risk has been made in those 84 patients of ruptured intracranial aneurysm. As Grades from I to V of Hunt et al. are most commonly used, the authors' grading method is also based on those of Hunt, and the prognostic factors are limited to those obtainable from bedside neurological examination. Those factors are so lined up as to form a shaft of 'GOD MAN Dis. Course', which may conveniently be used for determination of clinical conditions and risks of ruptured aneurysms as a more detailed grading.
