PURPOSE: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a rare but life-threatening clinical event for pediatric patients. Cerebral vasospasm is a common complication of SAH that often leads to poor outcomes. This case report describes the use of dual intraventricular (IVT) vasodilators in a pediatric patient.
SUMMARY: An 11-year-old male presented with traumatic diffuse SAH and cerebral vasospasm. Despite treatment with IVT nicardipine, intravenous (IV) milrinone by continuous infusion, enteral nimodipine, and intraarterial verapamil and milrinone given during digital subtraction angiography, transcranial Doppler (TCD) mean velocities continued to rise. IVT milrinone was then added to IVT nicardipine and IV milrinone. The combination of IVT nicardipine, IV milrinone, and rescue therapy with IVT milrinone was continued for a total of 7 days. TCD mean velocities decreased into the mild to moderate range within 2 days of the patient receiving this combined regimen and remained globally low thereafter.
CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the potential benefit of using dual IVT vasodilators to improve outcomes for pediatric patients with refractory cerebral vasospasm.
