In group 2 (n=57), there were 32 male patients. Forty nine [Table I] patients were in the third to sixth decade of life (mean age-38.6 years). At the time of admission [Table III], 16 patients were in grade I, 15 patients in grade II, 19 patients in grade III and 7 patients in grade IV. Nineteen patients were admitted within 3 days of ictus, and 31 patients within 1 week of ictus. Eleven patients suffered from more than 1 ictus prior to admission. Twelve harboured multiple aneurysms of which 7 had bilateral aneurysms. Ten patients had giant aneurysm. There were 72 aneurysms in this group. Anterior cerebral artery-anterior communicating artery junction was the commonest site [Table II]. The management results of the 2 groups were compared using the Fisher's exact test.
