Measure
Acetazolamide Challenge
Participants entered into the study as a cohort, will because of their participation, undergo only two additional digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) imaging acquisitions. These will be done in conjunction with their standard diagnostic DSA evaluation and consist of two CBCTPs, one before and one after administration of 1 g acetazolamide through a peripheral IV line. Each CBCTP will require administration of 75-100 mL iodinated contrast medium also through an intravenous line. Neither of these imaging studies will be used for clinical decision making, but would be processed and evaluated at later date for a formal analysis of the results. Following completion of diagnostic imaging subjects will receive the usual standard of care for treatment of their ruptured aneurysm i.e. endovascular embolization or open surgical clipping. Acetazolamide: 1 g acetazolamide through a peripheral IV line

Number of Participants Who Develop Delayed Cerebral Vasospasm
2 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: pre and post perfusion during imaging procedure, up to an hour

The data that will be statistically compared is the pre-diamox perfusion in comparison to the post-diamox perfusion. A statistically significant change increase in CBF represents an appropriate response to Diamox. Lack of change in CBF or decrease in CBF could be suggestive of potential for developing vasospasm.
