Can multislice helical computed tomography replace conventional angiography in the diagnosis of non traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage?
CT angiography can be considered as a first line imaging technique for diagnosis of non traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, conventional angiography including three dimensional acquisitions must be performed for all cases where the cause of hemorrhage remains undiagnosed at CT angiography.
Routine review on the first post-operative day following uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery could safely be withdrawn. A single post-operative review at 1-2 weeks after surgery would then be required, supplemented by patient-initiated post-operative review in the interim.
