Abstract
The management of patients with hemorrhagic stroke is an important problem in modern neurology and neurosurgery. The proportion of hemorrhagic stroke is only 15% of all cases of acute cerebrovascular accident, but mortality reaches 50% (and with intraventricular hemorrhages up to 80%), and disability is over 75%. Minimally invasive methods are being developed to reduce intraoperative damage to brain and improve the prognosis for the patient. One of them is ventricular external drainage (EVD) in combination with local fibrinolysis (LF). Intraventricular injection of thrombolytics allows the acceleration of the process of lysis and evacuation of blood. In this clinical observation, a 52-year-old female patient was admitted to the clinic with intracerebral hematoma and intraventricular hemorrhage, complicated by acute occlusive hydrocephalus. In the case of this patient, the use of external ventricular drainage in combination with local fibrinolysis made it possible to quickly resolve occlusive hydrocephalus, reduce the risk of death and increase the patient's rehabilitation potential.
