This paper aims to investigate the curative effect of different treatment approaches for hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage at medium amount. The curative effect of different treatment approaches for 226 patients with hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage from 20 ml to 40 ml was analyzed. There were 76 cases accepting conservative treatment, 94 burr hole drainage and 56 keyhole approach craniotomy. The patients' life quality was evaluated 3 months after operation. Of fully recovered and mildly disabled patients, 23 patients (30.26% ) were in conservative group, 50 (53.19% ) in burr hole drainage group, and 17 (30.36%) in craniotomy group. Of moderately, severely disabled or dead patients, 53 patients (69.74%) were in conservative group, 44 (46.81%) in burr hole drainage group, and 39 (69.64%) in craniotomy group. The burr hole drainage for treating hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage at medium amount had a better outcome than other two methods.doi:10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2014.02.010
