Sumario:Abstract: Objective This study aimed to explore the application value of transcranial doppler (TCD) in the inspection of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after the treatment of intracranial aneurysm. Methods: 105 cases of patients with confirmed intracranial aneurysm were divided into two groups based on the two different treatments - craniotomy and aneurysmal clipping or interventional emboli-zation therapy. TCD was applied to monitor the conditions of CVS of 105 cases, and case study re-search method was used to analyze and conclude the TCD inspection data of patients with intracrani-al aneurysm detected after operation. Results: The sensitivity of TCD in the detection of CVS was 83% and the specificity was 88%. Fur-ther, the incidence rate of CVS in the group treated with interventional embolization therapy was higher than that of the group treated with aneurysm clipping. Conclusions: TCD, which can be used to guide the adjustment of treatment and avoid complications, is an effective method in monitoring CVS after the treatment of intracranial aneurysm.
