[A treatment procedure for nontraumatic cerebellar hemorrhages].

The results of surgical treatment of 12 patients with non-traumatic intracerebellar hemorrhages are analyzed in this paper. The following parameters were assessed: clinical signs and symptoms, the level of consciousness, location and size of the lesion, the brain stem deformation, the rupture of hematoma into the adjacent ventricle, and hydrocephalus. In all patients with fulminant course as well as in the majority of patients with acute or subacute course when the brain stem compression progresses and seems to be unresponsive to medical treatment, surgery is strongly indicated. Among the surgical procedures, placement of the external ventricular drainage and extensive midline suboccipital craniectomy are curative. These procedures proved to be effective in reducing the brain stem compression. Patients with chronic intracerebral hematomas are followed conservatively.

[A comparative assessment of the results of surgical and conservative treatments in parkinsonism].

Late outcomes of surgical and medical treatment of parkinsonism were studied in 582 (including 321 medical and 261 surgical) patients. The follow-up ranged from 6 to 30 years. Three hundred and fifty eight surgeries were performed. In immediate postoperative period, the following results were observed: significant (64%), moderate (20.3%) improvements, no changes (8%), deterioration (3.1%). Late outcomes were as follows: significant (34.9%), moderate (20.3%) improvements, no changes (28.7%), deterioration (16.1%). In surgical patients the complication rate was 14.8%, mortality 0.8%. Analysis of outcomes of surgical and medical treatment showed a statistically significant predominance of good outcomes in surgical patients (34%) as compared with medical ones (14%).
