Abstract

Hypertensive intracerebral hematoma is a serious and potentially lethal condition. The indication of surgery in this hematoma is still controversial. Authors have treated 335 cases of hypertensive intracerebral hematomas which were confirmed by computerized tomography between July 1, 1982 and June 30, 1986. The hematomas have been classified according to their modes of extension on computerized tomography. The outcome was assessed on their basis of activity daily living. According to our study, moderate and severe types of putaminal hematoma cases have shown better results with surgery than conservative management. Mortality was 23.7 percent in surgery and 35.3 percent in conservative management.
