1. Impact on life after intracranial aneurysm rupture : health-related quality of life and epidemiologic outcomes
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe impact on life up to ten years after intracranial aneurysm rupture in terms of health-related quality of life, changes in everyday life and descriptive epidemiology with the intention to contribute to an increased understanding of the long-term perceived consequences of that impact.Study I aimed to describe changes and transitions in everyday life during the first two years following an intracranial aneurysm rupture.

2. Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in the Elderly
Sammanfattning : Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a disease with high risk of mortality and morbidity. Elderly patients have an even higher risk of poor outcome. The incidence of SAH increases with age and the elderly constitute a substantial and increasing proportion of the population. Thus, the management of elderly SAH patients is an imminent clinical challenge. LÄS MER
3. Life after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Sammanfattning : Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease with mean age of 59 years. SAH accounts for 5% of all stroke and more than one quarter of potential life years lost through stroke. With the advanced neurosurgical methods of today two thirds of the patients survive. LÄS MER
4. Results and complications of endovascular neurointerventions in intracranial aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations, evaluated by conventional angiography and diffusion-perfusion MRI
Sammanfattning : Aims - To describe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial fibrinolysis and the clinical outcome in SAH patients with thromboembolic complications during endovascular coiling of a ruptured aneurysm. (Paper I) - To describe the use and feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), especially diffusion and perfusion imaging, in three patients treated endovascularly for various cerebrovascular disorders.

5. Biochemical and genetic markers after subarachnoid haemorrhage
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality despite novel treatment options are available. There are no established methods to measure the brain damage occurring due to the bleed and its complications and to predict early neurological outcome of the disease. LÄS MER
