Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: There was moderate improvement of the severe vasospasm in bilateral A1 segments of the anterior cerebral arteries after microcatheter-based intra-arterial infusion of 30 ml (1 mg/ml) dantrolene. Patient's hemodynamic parameters were monitored during and after the procedure and no significant changes were seen after dantrolene infusion. A follow up cerebral angiogram after 1 day demonstrated the persistence of therapeutic effect. CONCLUSION:
