One hundred twenty six patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured intracranial aneurysm were admitted to our service between June 1988 and November 1989. Of these, 79 patients were treated with sodium ozagrel, thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor, or nizofenone, cerebral protector for ischemic cerebral damage. The effects were evaluated by the outcome of patients, incidence of symptomatic vasospasm and fatal vasospasm. Sodium ozagrel improved the outcome of patients and reduced the incidence of fatal vasospasm; however, it did not reduce the incidence of symptomatic vasospasm. Nizofenone was effective as well, but less so than sodium ozagrel. These results suggested that both drugs were effective in the treatment of delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DIND) due to cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage.
