Comparative Study
Sentinel headache and the risk of rebleeding after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The clinical significance of sentinel headaches in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is still unknown. We investigated whether patients with a sentinel headache (SH) have a higher rate of rebleeding after SAH. ⋯ In our study, patients with SAH who had an SH constituted a special group of patients with a 10-fold odds for early rebleeding. The presence of an SH may select candidates for ultraearly aneurysm obliteration or drug treatment.

Comparative Study
Plasma S100B level after acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
We sought to determine plasma S100B level after acute (<24 hours) spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and to study its relation with neurological outcome. ⋯ Increased S100B level is found after acute spontaneous ICH, in association with a worse early and late evolution, and closely related to initial hematoma volume.
