Psycho-neurological Symptoms after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Abstract

We report 3 cases presenting with psycho-neurological symptoms after subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patients suffered from consciousness disturbance due to vasospasm. Although they recovered consciousness gradually from the apathetic state and became able to walk, they showed perseveration, compulsive behavior, oral tendency and Korsakoff's syndrome. These symptoms were almost transient and improved markedly.
