Abstract:
Urokinase use after stereotaxic evacuation of hematoma became a popular method in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma. We obtained excellent result in evacuaIon of the hematoma which was remained after stereotaxic evacuation or direct approach for 24 raumatic intracerebral hematoma cases. And we found several advantages in this method compared with standard treatment modalities. We think that this is a new, effective treatment method for traumatic intracerebral hematoma.
