Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of midfrontal keyhole approach for the treatment of severe intra-ventricular hematoma. Methods The clinical data of 21 cases of severe intraventricular hemorrhage through midfrontal key-hole approach were analyzed retrospectively. Results Both inside and outside intraventricular hematoma were satisfied cleared. The GCS score and intraventricular hemorrhage Graeb score were improved. There were complications after opera-tion including 1 patient with diffuse brain swelling, 3 patients with cerebral vasospasm, 1 patient with intracranial infection, and seven patients with pulmonary infection. Follow-up schedules included 1-6 months. According to ADL score, 5 patients recovered well, 9 patients were moderately disabled, 3 were severely disabled, 1 was in a vegetative state and 3 died. Conclu-sion The intraventricular hematoma can be removed through midfrontal keyhole approach. The obstructive hydrocephalus can be relieved, the secondary brain damage was reduced and the prognosis was improved in patients.
