Abstract: Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is one of sympathetic ganglia block techniques which has been widely used in clinical practice. Recent years, studies of SGB have made  progresses in improving cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The possible mechanism of cerebral vasospasm after aSAH, the effect of SGB on improving cerebral vasospasm, the clinical application and related mechanism are reviewed in this paper to provide some  theoretical basis for the application of SGB to prevent and treat cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia after aSAH and improve the prognosis.

Key words: stellate ganglion block, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial aneurysm, cerebral vasospasm, cerebral ischemia
