Description

Objective: To discuss the curative effect of CT-guided puncture and drainage in treating hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Methods: Adjusting the suitable point and direction of puncture according to the form and size of the haematoma and patient's status, the haematoma was eliminated by minimally invasive puncture and drainage guided under CT layer image in 40 cases of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. Results: Modality rate of treatment group was 12.5% (5/40), and is much lower than control group, which was 45% (13/30) (P<0.01). When asscess the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) after 6 months follow-up, the ADL1-ADL3 scale in treatment group was 27 cases (70%), and was much higher than that in control group, which was 29.4% (5/17), (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Minimal invasive therapy of cerebral hemorrhage has great superiority in elimination most part of the hematoma such as simple, accurate location, low cost, safe and effective, and is worthy of recommendation clinically.
