| Description | Spontaneous intracerebral hematomas acutely increase intracranial volume and reduce intracranial compliance, this potentially increasing intracranial pressure and reducing cerebral perfusion. We analyse relationship between the peroperative intracranial pressure (ICP) before and after stereotactic evacuation with recording of the intraparenchymal ICP and pressure in hematoma, with the analysis of the amplitude and form of the ICP note and the time of operation. Our data and the analysis of dynamic changes occuring during the stereotactic evacuation suggest that this procedure significantly reduces the ICP caused by ICH and we believe that our results can improve management of patients with sponteneous intracerebral hematoma. |
