    AbstractSix patients with recently ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated preoperatively with tranexamic acid (AMCA). Two patients received 6 g daily in i.v. infusion, two had 6 g daily by i.v. injection, and two patients were given AMCA 9 g daily by mouth during the first week after bleeding. Serial assays of AMCA and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were performed during 6--13 days after the initial subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Judged from the decline in CSF-FDP, an assumed therapeutic level of greater than or equal to 1 mg/l of AMCA in CSF was reached within 24--36 hours after the first dose when the drug was administered intravenously and within 48 hours when the drug was given orally.
