Cerebral vasospasm lingers as the leading preventable cause of death and disability in patients who experience aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Despite the potentially devastating consequences of cerebral vasospasm, the mechanisms behind it are incompletely understood. Nitric oxide, endothelin-1, bilirubin oxidation products and inflammation appear to figure prominently in its pathogenesis. Therapies directed at many of these mechanisms are currently under investigation and hold significant promise for an ultimate solution to this substantial problem.
