Visualization of the blood vessels in the brain of a patient without early venous filling, meaning without excessive reperfusion of the brain area after removal of the blood clot in the blocked artery. They occur when a blood vessel that supplies the brain becomes blocked, impairing blood flow to the brain.

Abstract WP123: Accuracy of Cisternal Score in Predicting Cerebral Vasospasm Risk in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Single Center Study

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP123-AWP123, February 1, 2024. Background:Cisternal score (CISCO), which is calculated based on quantification of blood clot in basal cisterns, has been shown to have good accuracy in predicting ventriculoperitoneal shunt requirement in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
