About this trial

Neuropsychological and functional long-term consequences of subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) represent a great challenge, since sometimes considerable cognitive deficits occur without evidence of substantial brain damage. In this study, we want to examine if the frequently observed memory deficits are associated with hippocampal atrophy.
