Abstract :In our study, we aimed to evaluate the data obtained by retrospective examination of the epidemiological, clinical, and radiological findings of the patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. A group of 589 patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage was evaluated retrospectively. The epidemiological, clinical, and radiological results of the patients were analyzed. It was found that the most common presentation to the emergency department with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage was in the 6th decade, the female-to-male sex ratio was 1.5/1, the most common presentation time was winter-spring seasons, especially December, and the mortality rate was 39%. Headache was the most common presenting complaint. The epileptic seizure and loss of consciousness affected the prognosis negatively and increased mortality significantly. Hypertension was the most common chronic disease and was found to increase mortality. In FISHER and WFNS classifications, mortality increased as grade and class progressed. Spontaneous SAH and SA is a life-threatening pathology with high morbidity and mortality, difficult to treat and follow-up and significantly increasing healthcare costs.
