Abstract:
To consider indications of stereotactic evacuation of spontaneous I.C.H., we reviewed 155 patients of spontaneous I.C.H. treated with B.R.W. stereotaxy in recent 2 years form Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1987. And we analysed clinical outcome according to volume of hematoma, anatomical location of hematoma, operation time from attack and initial G.C.S.. We concluded "Indications of stereotactic evacuation of spontaneous I.C.H." as followings; 1) There was no contraindication according to anatomical location of hematoma even if brain stem and posterior fossa. 2) Golden operation time seems to be as early as possible after 6-8 hours from attack. 3) There was no contraindication according to volume of hematoma but there was increased tendency of rebleeding in small thalamic hemorrhage. 4) Low initial G.C.S. was not definite contraindication but final end-result was not so satisfactory. 5) Combined I.V.H. was also good indication, because of low occurrence of postoperative hydrocephalus and early removal of ventricular hemorrhage.
