Definition and Aim

The "Swiss Study On aneurysmalSubarachnoidhemorrhage", hereafter referred to as "Swiss SOS", is an interdisciplinary group that concentrates on research on aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and intracranial aneurysms in general.

The group founded a nationwide, multicenter research project in 2008 as bottom-up initiative, which has evolved to be a prospective, institutional-review-board approved database containing continuous anonymous information on patients diagnosed with aSAH in Switzerland.

The aims of the Swiss SOS are

a. to monitor aSAH epidemiology in Switzerland
b. to measure and control the quality of aSAH treatment in Switzerland
c. to provide a network for and foster clinical research and collaboration between Swiss Centers and disciplines involved in the management of aSAH
d. to guide the future direction of aSAH management in Switzerland

The Swiss SOS project is registred under clinical.gov NCT03245866.

In memoriam: Prof. em. Dr. med. Antonios Valavanis (20.01.1952-30.05.2023)

The Swiss Society for Neuroradiology (SSNR) has the deep regret to announce the death of its founding member, honorary member and past president, Anton Valavanis. Besides initiating its foundation in 1988, he was President of our Society for two periods, from 1993 to 1999 and from 2001 to 2010. In 1994 he was nominated titular professor at the University of Zurich as well as head of the clinic of neuroradiology at Zurich University Hospital (USZ), this would be an important event and thereafter Neuroradiological Units and centers started to spread across Switzerland, both in the university hospitals and regional centers. Together with Peter Huber he was one of the founding fathers of Neuroradiology and the leader of one of its two historical branches. He was co-founder and former president of the SFCNS.

He has been a pioneer in making Neuroradiology a central part of the clinical Neurosciences. His legacy in Switzerland has been immense and he will be missed by all his direct and indirect scholars.

We extend our condolences to his friends and family.
