Management of spontaneous large intra cerebral hematoma with minimal invasive procedure (twist drill burr hole) with fibrinolytic therapy
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is associated with the high mortality among cerebrovascular events, and most of the survivors end with significant morbidity. Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the second most common cause of stroke comprising 7.5-30% of all strokes. Surgery mainly helps in decrease in secondary injury and early rehabilitation. Aim: To analyse the outcome and advantages of minimal invasive surgery i.e., burr hole or twist drill craniostomy with intraclot streptokinase injection to dissolve clot and aspiration to reduce mass effect in primary intracerebral hematoma, this help to prevent secondary injury and recovery of salvageable brain. Materials and methods: Prospective study was done over from November 2014 to January 2017 in our department for the patients of spontaneous large intra cerebral hematoma > 80ml who underwent clot evacuation with fibrinolytic therapy with minimally invasive procedure with twist drill burr hole. Total 62 patients were included in the study. All the patients were followed with CT sequential scans to see for the clot size and followed with clinical status. Results: Our analysis of 62 patients was consistent with the hypothesis that hematoma evacuation leads to improved neurological outcome, the outcome has been correlated with the rate of clot reduction. Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgery is a safe and effective option in the management of spontaneous ICH especially in the patients whom major surgical procedures pose a significant risk. MIS is associated with lower mortality and better outcomes compared to surgical evacuation or conservative management. Our study have clearly shown an improved outcome after minimally invasive surgery and still there is some emptiness to determine the exact protocol to insist these type of studies to deal with bed occupancy and a burden to the society.
