评估了三组患者的认知结果，这些患者接受了单一破裂颅内动脉瘤修复手术。我们评估了一组15名患者在前交通动脉瘤（ACoA）后至少3个月进行的执行功能和记忆测试的表现，以及一组12名患者在相同病理学后的第一个月进行的测试。急性患者比慢性患者整体受损更严重，但两组在两项执行和一项记忆测试上存在显着差异。还将ACoA患者的性能与检查前至少3个月接受后交通动脉（PCoA）动脉瘤手术的10名患者的性能进行了比较。慢性ACoA和PCoA患者在两个记忆和两个执行测试的性能显着不同，后患者比前受损。一个意想不到的发现是ACoA患者的语义记忆受损。
The cognitive outcome of three groups of patients, who had undergone surgery for repair of a single ruptured intracranial aneurysm, was evaluated. We assessed performance on tests of executive functions and memory in a group of 15 patients tested at least 3 months after an aneurysm of the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) and in a group of 12 patients tested in the first month after the same pathology. Acute patients were more impaired overall than chronic ones, but the two groups significantly differed on two executive and one memory test. The performance of the ACoA patients was also compared to the performance of a group of 10 patients who had undergone surgery for an aneurysm located on the posterior communicating artery (PCoA) at least 3 months before the examination. Chronic ACoA and PCoA patients significantly differed in two memory and in two executive tests performance, with posterior patients being more impaired than anterior. An unexpected finding was the impairment of semantic memory in ACoA patients.
