Summary
Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been well known since its original description by Foltz [7]. Thereafter, for a long period, acute hydrocephalus after SAH had been regarded to be clinically insignificant, as it was found to be almost mild and transient [14]. Yet, more recently, Bailes and co-workers demonstrated acute hydrocephalus and elevated intracranial pressure in more then 90% of poor-grade patients after SAH. These authors regarded acute hydrocephalus to be responsible for early neurological deterioration in the majority of those patients [1].
