Abstract:
We have experienced 66 cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages which were confirmed by computed tomographic scans. Microsurgical interventions were performed in 3 cases and the rest 33 cases were managed conservatively. The results of operative treatment were better than those of medical cares. However, surgical indication must be evaluated hematoma, blood pressure, mental state, timing of operation and feature of onset. CT scans are very helpful in the diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhages about their size, shape, amount, intraventricular extension, mass effect, brain shift, and complicated hydrocephalus etc. Also pre-and postoperative repeated CT scans are very helpful for the therapeutic guide line.
