Abstract

We report the case of a 20-year-old male who developed unexplained sub-arachnoid haemorrhage following cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Computed tomography and lumbar puncture performed within 24 h were normal. A CT performed on day 5 revealed massive sub-arachnoid hemorrhage. The patient expired due to brain herniation. We conclude that sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may be a late complication of aborted sudden death. We suggest ischaemia-reperfusion injury as a possible mechanism.
