CT-guided stereotactic evacuation of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma.

From January 1986 to June 1989, the CT-guided stereotactic evacuation was performed in 38 cases of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma with satisfactory result. 24 patients were male and 14 female. The age ranged from 37 to 78 years, with an average of 55. 24 cases had their hematoma in internal capsule, 7 in cerebellum, 5 in subcortex, and 2 in brain stem. The interval between the occurrence of hemorrhage and evacuation of hematoma was 24 hours or less in 18 cases, 2-3 days in 14 and 4-7 days in 6. The volume of hematoma was estimated by CT scanning being more than 100 ml in 6 cases whereas much less in 2 cases of the brain stem.

Evacuation of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma by a stereotactic technique.

30 patients with a hypertensive intracerebral hematoma were treated by stereotactic evacuation between 1986 and 1988. There were 20 males and 10 females; their ages ranged from 37 to 78 years. The time interval from onset to operation was in 16 patients 24 days and in 14 patients 2-7 days. In 19 patients the hematoma was found in the internal capsule, in 5 in the cerebellum, in 4 in the subcortex, and in 2 in the brain stem. The operation was performed with a Leksell computed tomography guided stereotactic apparatus and a Backlund hematoma evacuator. More than 80% of the hematoma could be aspirated in 20 patients and 60-80% in 10. 29 patients are alive, and 1 patient died.
