OUTCOMES OF MICROSURGICAL TREATMENT FOR RUPTURED INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS AT CAN THO CENTRAL GENERAL HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Microsurgical treatment for intracranial aneurysms has been widely adopted worldwide and in major neurosurgical centers in Vietnam. However, this technique has only recently been implemented at our hospital under conditions of limited equipment and medical personnel. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 40 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms treated at Can Tho Central General Hospital from April 2022 to February 2024. Results: The average age was 58.85 ± 9.37 years, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:1. The Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) at discharge showed good outcomes in 80% of cases, moderate outcomes in 17.5%, and poor outcomes in only 2.5%. Conclusion: Microsurgical treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms is an effective and safe method, routinely performed at Can Tho Central General Hospital.
