Future Directions. The results of this study suggest that inter- and intraobserver agreement on the presence of the NAPH pattern on CT scans is good. We also found that in approximately 22% of cases, there was disagreement as to whether the SAH matched the NAPH pattern. This implies that agreement may not be strong enough to suggest that the presence or absence of this pattern is reliable enough for a single observer’s opinion to be taken into account when deciding on the future management of the patient. If there is a low index of suspicion for the presence of an intracranial aneurysm, follow-up CT angiography, rather than DSA, can be used to accurately exclude aneurysms.8,9 In this study, we also found that in a most of cases, nonan- eurysmal SAH does not match the NAPH pattern. Given that such cases have not been as well characterized as NAPHs, it seems necessary to study these cases extensively so as to deter- mine whether one can develop an algorithm that could be used to reliably determine the best way to manage these cases.
