Title: CT-guided Stereotactic and Neuroendoscope-assisted Surgery for Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Abstract: Objective To evaluate the curative effect of CT-guided and stereotactie neuroendoscope-assisted operation on intracerebral hematoma caused by hypertension.Methods Twenty-eight patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were examined by CT scan.Intracranial hematomas were removed and the ruptured arteries were coagulated by CT-guideed stereotaetic and rigid neuroendoscope-assisted surgery.Results Of 28 patients with intracerebral hematomas,3 received evacuation of 50% of hematomas,12 did 50%-70% and 13 did 70%-90%.The evacuation of more than 90% of intraventricular hematomas was achieved in 5 patients with intracerehral hematomas going into the ventricles.Two patients died within 7 days after the operation.The following up for 6 months after the operation,in 26 patients showed that the curative effects were excellent or good in 20 patients,moderate disability occurred in 4 and the conditions of 2 patients deteriorated.Conclusion CT-guided stereotactic and neuroendoscope-assisted surgery is a safe effective and minimally invasive method for evacuation of the intracerebral hematoma induced by hypertensive hemorrhage.
