pubmed:abstractText |
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a high mortality rate and leaves most survivors disabled. The dismal outcome is mostly due to the mass effect of hematoma plus edema. Major clinical trials show no benefit from surgical or medical treatment. Decompressive craniectomy has, however, proven beneficial for large ischemic brain infarction with massive swelling. We hypothesized that craniectomy can improve ICH outcome as well.
