Perimesencephalic Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcome

Abstract: Background-Nonaneurysmal perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (PMSAH) appears to have an etiology and natural history distinct from aneurysm rupture. Referral-based studies suggest that 15% of SAH patients have no discernable cause of bleeding, but the incidence of PMSAH is unknown. We describe the first population-based study of PMSAH and place it in the context of all non-traumatic SAH, with presentation of incidence rates, patient demographics, and clinical outcomes.

“…Although this finding is controversial in the literature for ANSAH 8,22,40 , there are scarce data mentioning possible seasonal or circadian patterns in the particular case of ISAH 72 . Sex distribution favours men in our ISAH series, contrary to the female preponderance in ANSAH, in accordance with other series 15,33,61 . Median age of 55 years in ISAH and ANSAH groups is also comparable to other series, although there are small oscillations in different ISAH series depending on the proportion of patients with pmISAH which varies between 21 to 68%, because this type of ISAH is said to affect younger patients 15,61,67 .…”

“…Our ISAH series represents 19% of the total spontaneous SAH series, that is a percentage above the higher limit of the 5-15% usually cited in the literature 6,15,25,45,53,60,65,67,79 , but it has diminished compared to the 25-30% cited by previous Spanish series 33,40,46,48,57 , meaning that the diagnostic advances in our health system in the last years have favourably influenced aneurysmal detection as the cause of spontaneous SAH, in a way similar to other medical communities 21 . We haven't evidenced any seasonal or day of the week preference pattern for SAH occurrence either for the ANSAH nor the ISAH groups, similar to other studies 56 .…”

“…Lower complication risks, including vasospasm or hydrocephalus, have been reported especially for PM-SAH (47). The risk of re-bleeding is also reported to be minimal in PM-SAH (16,47). However, PM-SAH is not the only bleeding pattern in patients with NNSAH.…”

“…The 5 patients with positive spinal MRI or repeat DSA, with detected underlying causes underwent surgery and/or endovascular treatment. Of these 5 traumatic non-aneurysmal PM-SAH has been thoroughly investigated and defined as a benign form of SAH with relatively low morbidity and mortality rates (16,29,57). Lower complication risks, including vasospasm or hydrocephalus, have been reported especially for PM-SAH (47).…”

“…The verified causes of nontraumatic nonaneurysmal SAH were capillary telangiectasia, venous sinus stenosis, excessive strenuous exertion, benign perimesencephalic SAH, brain tumors, meningoencephalitis, Valsalva maneuver, coagulation disorders, severe arterial hypertension, and vasculitis 5,6,11,13,15,16) . Although the mechanism of its development is not clear, the arterial and/or venous hypertension during procedure, with resulting venous, capillary, or arteriolar bleeding, may proceed to SAH following PV.…”
