With such a large number of patients presenting to the ED with a chief complaint of headache, differentiating those with a benign cause from those with an emergent etiology such as [[SAH]] can be difficult. Deciding which patients require a workup for SAH is often the most challenging part of the emergency physician’s care, in part due to the low frequency and high acuity of the illness. ===== Computed tomography ===== see [[Computed tomography for spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage diagnosis]]. ===== Lumbar Puncture ===== see [[Lumbar puncture for subarachnoid hemorrhage]]. spontaneous_subarachnoid_hemorrhage_diagnosis.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:49by 127.0.0.1
