Comparative analysis of four different treatments for hypertensive thalamic hemorrhage

Abstract

One hundred and twenty patients with hypertensive thalamic hemorrhage were treated by different methods according to clinical situation and patients or family members. In this study 33 patients died: 7 patients were treated with conservative therapy, 6 patients with bilateral ventricle drainage, 8 patients with bilateral ventricle drainage plus hematoma puncture and aspiration, 12 patients with hematoma evacuation and decompressive cranioectomy. Comparison between different treatments revealed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The treatment for hypertensive thalamic hemorrhage should be treated by different methods according to various clinical conditions to obtain better outcome. DOI：10.3969/j.issn.1672⁃6731.2012.04.020
