Abstract
- The authors ahve analyzed various chemical components of intracerebral hematoma in 20 cerebrovascular accident patients who were operated at the Department of Neurosurgery, Kosin Medical Center, from October, 1984 to April, 1986. The results showed that there are no differences between the levels of sodium and chloride in serum and hematoma, while potassium and phosphorus significantly higher in hematoma, and calcium lower in hematoma. The changes of various chemical components seem not to be correlated with the timing of operation. We are going to discuss the possible explanations of the changes.
