Computerized tomographic (CT) scanning is of value in the assessment of cases of subarachn oid hemorrhage (SAH). To determine the localizing, features, rates of detection of SAH due to ruptured aneurysms and to evaluate the correlationship between CT findings, clinical grade, angiographic vasospasm, CT scans, angiograms and clinical records were reviewed in 50 consecutive patients with SAH due to a ruptured aneurysm. In 84 % of all cases, the CT scans showed the presence of SAH. The most common location for an aneurysm was anterior communicating artery. There was somewhat a relationship between the CT grade and the angiographic grade. However, a strict correlation. not only between the CT grade and clinical grade but also between the angiographic grade and clinical grade was not observed.
