Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a stroke syndrome, defined as rapidly developing neurological dysfunction and/or headache because of bleeding into the subarachnoid space (the space between the subarachnoid membrane and the pia mater of the brain or spinal cord), which is not caused by trauma.1 It is a dire condition with high morbidity and mortality.
