A subarachnoid hemorrhage is usually due
to the break up of an aneurism of the
blood vessel(s) at the base of the brain.
A brain aneurism represents a weak wall of
a blood vessel, usually a congenital
anomaly. An angiography is the only
diagnostic procedure used for finding the
precise localization of the aneurism.
There is nothing you can do at the moment
except to wait for further instructions
from the expert neurosurgeons so that you
can learn more.
