Abstract

Cerebral vasospasm is an important cause of morbidity and mortality following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Oxygen free radical generation is increased after SAH and that these radicals and consequently lipid peroxidation may be causally related to the expression of cerebral vasospasm. In this experimental study, SAH model was performed to the rabbits basilar artery and cerebral cortex were examined by electron microscope and oxidative/nitrosative stress parameters.
