Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH) accounts for only 5% of all strokes, but it is a disabling disease because of the cognitive deficits that occur in many survivors. We hypothesize these deficits to be caused by an accelerated brain atrophy process that develops after the event. To investigate this hypothesis, we evaluated brain volume changes in aSAH patients over time.
