Title: Surgical therapy for large area cerebellar infarction-the experience of 71 cases
Abstract: Objective To explore the best surgical operative approach of treating large area cerebellar infarction. Methods 71 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:ventricle external drainage combined with posterior cranial fossa external-decompression of craniotomy(Group A),ventricle external drainage and posterior cranial fossa combined internal and external decompression of craniotomy(Group B),posterior cranial fossa combined internal and external decompression of craniotomy(Group C). The outcomes of the 3 groups were observed. Results During the sixth month followup,after operation the standard of ADL scores was 43.24±27.86 in group A;65.50±30.74 in Group B;64.71±28.41 in Group C. There was significant difference between Group A and B,Group A and C(P﹤0.05). There was no significant difference between. Group B and C (P﹥0.05). The mortality had no significant difference between the 3 groups(P﹥0.05). Conclusions The best approach to treat the large area cerebellar infarction is posterior cranial fossa combined with internal and external decompression of craniotomy.
