Abstract:
212 cases of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma were treated and followed for more than 3 months. The outcome was analysed in point of comparison between conservative treatment and operative treatment. The precipitating factors on prognosis depend on size and site of hematoma, level of mental deterioration, and blood pressure on admisson. Operative treatment showed better outcome than conservative treatment in cases of severly mentally deteriorated patients, large hematoma, and pontine hematoma.
