Abstract:Objective To investigate the surgical treatment of hypertensive cerebellar hemorrhage and the therapeutic effect.Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with hypertensive cerebellar hemorrhage who were admitted to our hospital from September 2011 to March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-two patients underwent bone window craniotomy to remove the hematoma after external ventricular drainage, and 8 patients underwent external ventricular drainage alone. Results Twenty-six patients survived and 4 patients died at 6 months after operation. The clinical outcomes of survivors were evaluated according to activities of daily living at 6 months after operation: 3 in grade I, 14 in grade Ⅱ, 6 in grade III, 2 in grade IV, and 1 in grade V.Conclusions Based on the site of hematoma, volume of hematoma, hydrocephalus, and clinical features, external ventricular drainage combined with hematoma evacuation or external ventricular drainage alone is the most effective treatment that can increase the success rate in treatment and improve the clinical outcomes. The safety and value of intraventricular fibrinolysis need to be confirmed by more research.
