ABSTRACT We reviewed outcome for ruptured anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysm in 40 patients and attempted to establish its relationships with circulating pattern and complicating factors. Circulation Type-1 and Type-2 were associated with a better outcome than Type-3 and Type-4. Apart from arterial hypertension and cerebral infarction, all the complicating factors, i.e., vasospasm, brain oedema, intraparenchymal and/or intraventricular haemorrhage and hydrocephalus were related with an increased risk for poor outcome, but the broad outcome was more depended on circulating pattern for anterior cerebral territories.
