Three Pillars of Recovery After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Narrative Review.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a devastating neurologic disease with high mortality and disability. There have been global improvements in survival, which has contributed to the prevalence of patients living with long-term sequelae related to this disease. The focus of active research has traditionally centered on acute treatment to reduce mortality, but now there is a great need to study the course of short- and long-term recovery in these patients. In this narrative review, we aim to describe the core pillars in the preservation of cerebral function, prevention of complications, the recent literature studying neuroplasticity, and future directions for research to enhance recovery outcomes following aSAH.
