Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To explore the therapeutic effect of neuronavigation-assisted minimally invasive operation on hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage patients with hematoma volume less than 30 mL. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 25 hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage patients with hematoma volume varied from 15 to 30 mL were enrolled. 13 patients were recuited to undertook puncture aspiration and catheter drainage under real-time neuronavigation. The operations were carried out under CT imaging guidance. Twelve patients with conservative treatment were recruited as control. RESULTS: Neuronavigation operation group was superior to the conservative treatment group in terms of hematoma clearance time, duration of hospitalization, 6-month Glasgow coma score (GCS) scores and neurological deficiency scores. CONCLUSIONS: Neuronavigation-assisted minimally invasive operation is suitable for low volume hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhage and improves the prognosis of these patients significantly.
