| Abstract |
Objective
The purpose of this study is to evaluate benefits of surgical treatment of small volume hypertensive putaminal hemorrhages.
Methods
26 patients with hypertensive putaminal hemorrhages between January 2004 and December 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. The hematoma volume was restricted from 10 cc to 25 cc according to CT scan. Patients were divided into surgically treated group (Group I) and medically treated group (Group II). The initial neurological status was evaluated by Glasgow Coma Score and muscle power score. The outcome was evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS), modified Barthel Index (mBI), and the improvement degrees of muscle power at 6 months after hemorrhage.
Results
The surgically treated group showed better result in mRS and mBI although it did not reach the statistical significance, and showed noticeably better result in the improvement degrees of muscle power which was statistically significant.
Conclusion
This study revealed that the surgical treatment of small volume hypertensive putaminal hemorrhage was significantly beneficial in muscle power recovery. |
