This study aimed to evaluate the changes in hippocampal volume, cognitive function, and interictal epileptiform discharges after clipping in patients with aSAH of anterior circulation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with modified Rankin Scale scores of 0\u20133 points who underwent clipping were evaluated. Aneurysmal locations were classified as middle cerebral artery (MCA), internal carotid artery (ICA), and anterior cerebral artery (ACA). Surgery was performed using the transsylvian approach or interhemispheric approach. Hippocampal volume measurement, neuropsychological assessments, and interictal electroencephalogram evaluations were performed postoperatively at the subacute phase. Epileptiform discharges were assessed using the spike index (SI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 60 patients (23 men, 37 women; median age, 57.4 years). Aneurysmal locations were found in the MCA, ICA, and ACA in 23, 19, and 18 patients, respectively. The postoperative hippocampal volume was significantly reduced on the clipping approach side in the MCA and ICA groups (MCA, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001; ICA, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). There was no correlation between hippocampal volume and cognitive function. A significant difference was noted in elevated SI on the approach side of the MCA (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), ICA (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), and ACA (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001) in the transsylvian approach group. The elevated SI on the left approach side showed significant differences in some neuropsychological assessments (performance intellectual quotient, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.028; perceptual organization, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.045; working memory, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cognitive dysfunction in the subacute phase after clipping for aSAH was not correlated with hippocampal volume reduction but was correlated with interictal epileptiform discharges.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2025.1428311","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,20]],"date-time":"2025-01-20T07:20:26Z","timestamp":1737357626000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effect of epileptiform discharges and hippocampal volume on cognitive dysfunction following clipping of ruptured aneurysms in the anterior circulation"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Kunitoshi","family":"Otsuka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shigeki","family":"Sunaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Jimbo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoshinori","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michihiro","family":"Kohno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1227\/01.NEU.0000249215.19591.86","article-title":"Aneurysm screening after treatment for ruptured aneurysms study group.
