Outcomes of grade V subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) patients are often unpredictable.
Frequently, SAH patients with a GCS score of 3 receive conservative management alone.
Fifty-one SAH patients presenting with GCS scores of 3 underwent early treatment.
Favourable outcomes were achieved in 22% of patients presenting with GCS score of 3.
Age and intact pupillary light reflex were correlated with favourable outcomes.
