This type of hemorrhage may occur in the subarachnoid space, or it may originate in the cerebrum, but rarely in the subdural space.1Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage is usually caused by a leaking or ruptured aneurysm within or contiguous to the subarachnoid space. The diagnosis and treatment of this catastrophe, at times associated with hemorrhage into the brain substance, is a problem worthy of detailed discussion2but is not the purpose of this paper. This presentation is primarily concerned with the results of surgical treatment of spontaneous hemorrhage into the brain substance, which in many instances causes symptoms of a "stroke."
