OBJECTIVE: In this study, we evaluated the difference in incidence of symptomatic vasospasm between ruptured aneurysms in the anterior and posterior circulation using multiple logistic regression analysis. METHODS: A total of 145 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for aneurysms within 72 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were studied. RESULTS: The ruptured aneurysm was in the anterior circulation in 128 patients (88.3%) and in the posterior circulation in 17 patients (11.7%). Forty patients (27.6%) had symptomatic vasospasm and 105 patients (72.4%) did not. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess relationships among various variables and the occurrence of symptomatic vasospasm after SAH. Finally, Grade III to V (Hunt and Hess grade) and Group 3 (Fisher's classification) on admission were found to be independently positively associated with the occurrence of symptomatic vasospasm while ruptured vertebrobasilar aneurysm were negatively associated. CONCLUSION: Although a poor clinical grade and a severe SAH classification on admission such as Hunt and Hess grade and Fisher's classification are established powerful predictors of symptomatic vasospasm, ruptured vertebrobasilar aneurysm are for the first time reported to be a predictor of symptomatic vasospasm based on results of a recent reliable statistical analysis.
