Abstract
In this study, 198 patients with moderate basal ganglia hemorrhage (30-60 ml) were treated with craniopuncture and drainage through frontal approach within 7 d after onset. Conventional symptomatic treatment was adopted after the operation. Two patients died and 5 were in persistent vegetative state [Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) Ⅱ]. All survivals were followed up for 6 months after operation, and 171 patients achieved good results [Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL) and Barthel Index (BI) of moderate, mild dependence or complete independence]. The total efficiency was 86.36%(171/198). Transfrontal craniopuncture and drainage is a safe and effective method for the treatment of moderate basal ganglia hemorrhage.
