Cerebral vasospasm has been commonly described following subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) though its impact on neurological outcome, especially in head trauma, has not been yet elucidated. The purpose of this study was to monitor and correlate neurological condition and flow velocities (FVs) in the arteries of the brain after SAH and more particularly to investigate the influence of basilar artery (BA) vasospasm on neurological outcome.
