Overview

Other diagnostic studies for subarachnoid hemorrhage include spinal angiography and surgical exploration. ^[1]^[2]

Other diagnostic studies

Surgical exploration

Surgical exploration is not a routine diagnostic evaluation. However, It is the best diagnostic aspect in diagnosis of ruptured aneurysm and it has a diagnostic value even after two or more negative angiograms.^[1]^[3]

Spinal angiography

Spinal angiography also should be considered in patient with SAH especially after:^[2]^[4]

A clinical suspicion for a spinal vascular anomaly (prominent back/neck pain and radicular on examination)
Presence of abnormal finding on other neuroimaging studies
