The subjects studied in this report included 17 surgical cases which underwent evacuation of hematoma by means of BRW CT stereotaxic system approximately 14 days after its onset, and 11 non-operated cases. The average age was 65.5 years for the operated and 68.7 years for the non-operated groups. The neurological grades on admission were Grade III or above (slight or mild disturbance of consciousness). The evaluation of the cases was made according to (1) laterality of the hematoma on the left or right, (2) neurological grading, (3) maximum anterio-posterior, lateral diameters, and maximum depth of the hematoma, (4) CT classification (Kanaya, 1981) and ADL (5 grades) at 4.5 months after onset. No correlation was found between ADL and the laterality of the lesion in both groups. As for neurological grading I and ADL on admission, 6/8 cases in the operated and 3/8 in the nonoperated groups recovered to ADL grade 2 or above and 2 bed-ridden cases were included in the latter group. In regard to the extent of the hematoma, the mean ADL was 1.83 in the operated group. While 2.75 in the non-operated group where the hematoma was 25 mm or less in its maximum anterio-posterior diameter. On CT, there existed a significant difference in ADL at IIb and 4/5 of the operated and 1/4 of the non-operated groups appeared to be ADL 2 or above. Assessment of the activities (mental change, willingness) as well as the muscle strength was performed within 3 days after surgery in operated group and 88.2% and 35.3% improvements were observed, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
