Long-term evaluation of ultra-early operation for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in 100 cases

Abstract

✓ In the past 10 years, the authors performed microsurgical evacuation of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma in 100 cases during the ultra-early stage (within 7 hours) after the apoplectic attack. Operative indications were the presence of obvious hemiplegia and disturbed consciousness (from stupor to semicoma). Functional outcomes at 6 months postoperatively were as follows: 15 patients had returned to a full social life, 35 were capable of self-care at home, 33 required partial care at home, two were bedridden and in a vegetative state, and seven had died.
