Role of Proteomics and Metallomics in Cerebral Vasospasm Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Role of Proteomics and Metallomics in Cerebral Vasospasm Following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
The purpose of this study is to determine the role of Proteomics and Metallomics in Cerebral
 Vasospasm following Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Non traumatic SAH documented by CT scan

 -  Patient with SAH who would need external ventricular drain (EVD) for the management of
 hydrocephalus

 -  Patients with normal pressure Hydrocephalus that require an external drain

 -  Control (non - hemorrhagic) group - CSF collected from patients with posterior fossa
 tumor or stroke with EVD in place for the management of hydrocephalus.

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Recent infection within last 1 month of presentation- can increase inflammatory
 markers

 -  Recent surgery or acute myocardial infarction within last 1 month of presentation

 -  Age > 89 years or < 18 years
