cognitive outcome of SAH patients.The patients were collected from Matareya Teaching Hospital, Cairo, Egypt,
from January 2016 to April 2016 and reassessed at 3, 6 months after the acute stage of the disease.Thirty-six
patients were evaluated and divided into 2 groups: Patient group: included 19 patients treated with
endovascular coiling of intracranial aneurysm. Control group: included 17 patients managed conservatively.
The Montreal cognitive assessment scale was used.
