Effect of puncture through frontal lobe in the treatment of intracranial hematoma

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the effect of an easy puncture through frontal lobe in the treatment of deep brain hematoma. The lesions of 37 patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage were accurately positioned by CT scan. Drainage tube was placed in the center of hematoma through frontal lobe and blood was aspirated. Urokinase 30 × 103 U was injected in the hematoma postoperatively to promote the evacuation of hematoma. Postoperative CT scan showed more than 75% hematoma was cleared in all patients after 3-7 d. Two patients died of complications; 2 patients were severely disabled; 3 rebleeding happened. Almost 33 patients had a good recovery. Minimal invasion, convenient operation and exact location were the adventages of this puncture and it does not need complicated device. doi：10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2013.12.011
