In the later days after subarachnoid hemorrhage , the arteries of the brain may become irritated and go into spasm. This spasm or narrowing is know as vasospasm.
Severe spasm can lead to a stroke .
Although there is no cure of vasospasm there are some treatments. Here at the Hershey Medical Center, not only are we able to treat vasospasm in the conventional manner, with medications and fluids, but we are also able to utilize newer endovascular techniques.
