Abstract
Objective To investigate the impact of the lunar cycle on the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhages. Methods We retrospectively identified all patients admitted to the department of neurosurgery during 1992 and 2004 suffering from aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. The onset of bleeding was compared with the lunar phase. Results We did not observe any significant impact of the lunar cycle on the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage in 717 consecutive patients ( p = 0.84). Conclusion The impact of the lunar cycle on aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is a myth rather than reality.
