Abstract     Although subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a subtype of stroke, it strikes a much younger age group than cerebral infarction (the cause of over 70% of all strokes), where the mean age of onset is 72 years. SAH affects mostly people in the 5th decade of life (20% between 15 - 45 years); at peak of their productivity. It represents a distinct physiological event that can be associated with superimposed diffuse squeal caused by delayed ischemic dysfunction. On the other hand, cerebrovascular infarctions represent a more discrete process with more limited cerebrovascular effects. Despite a satisfactory neurological recovery, many patients after SAH may also show personality changes and cognitive dysfunction that interfere with rehabilitation and social reintegration.
