I.はじめに
クモ膜下出血後の脳血管攣縮は,脳神経外科が著しい進歩をとげている現在でも重要な合併症であり,その予防及び発症後の治療については様々な方法が試みられている.今回われわれはクモ膜下出血後に症候性脳血管攣縮を呈した21例に対し,大量ステロイドの使用を試みた.ここでは,その結果について臨床的検討と共に文献的考察を加え,報告したいと思う.
Among 48 cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage, 21 cases (43.8%) showed symptomatic vasospasm. We attempted treatment, using a large amount of steroid therapy for them in accord with our own protocol.
In the 21 cases who received steroid therapy for symptomatic vasospasm, 18 cases (85.7%) showed im-provement of their symptoms. This was especially evi-dent in about 8 cases where the steroid effect was re-markable. There was a serious side effect, GI—tract bleeding, in one case. Althoug the effect of the steroid therapy was evident for slight or moderate spasmcases, 5 severe spasm cases responded poorly. We con-cluded that a large amount of steroid therapy was effective for slight or moderate symptomatic vasospasm cases, and that in severe ones possibly another therapy combined with steroid therapy would be necessary.
