Stereotactic Treatment of Spontaneous Intracerebral Haemorrhage K. Máca, T. Svoboda, P. Fadrus, Department of NeurosurgeryUniversity Hospital Brno
Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage /SICH/ is a haematoma within a brain parenchyma, and accounts for approximately 10% of strokes.
SICH - approx. 12-15 cases per 100 000 /yearSICH : SAH 2 : 1Significant increase after the age of 55 years
Etiology • Hypertension • Vascular anomalies • AVM • Aneurysm - saccular, microaneurysms / Charcot-Bouchard / • Venous angioma
Etiology • Coagulopathy • CNC infection • Acutely increased CBF – to ischemic areas • Etc. ( sinus tromb.,drug abuse, eclampsia, postoperative stat.)
Evaluation • CT • DSA
MRI • NOT the procedure of choice for initial study
Treatment • Conservative • Surgery STICH - Surgical Trial in Intracerbral Haemorrhage Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, 1998 - present
Conservative treatment • Minimally symptomatic lesions /GCS 10/ • Little chance of good outcome (massive haemorrhage, poor neurol. condition) • Severe coagulopathy • Elderly patients /75 yrs/
Surgical treatment • Symptomatic lesions • Marked mass effect, oedema, midline shift • Moderate clot volume /10 – 30 ccm/ • Persistent elevated ICP • Rapid deterioration • Young patient /50 yrs/
Cerebellar haemorrhage • GCS14 and haematoma 4 cm diameter Conservatively • GCS 13 4 cm Surgical evacuation Patients with absent brain stem reflexes – intensive therapy is not indicated
Surgical treatment • Craniotomy • Stereotactic evacuation • (Endoscopy)
Material • 113 pacients with supra and infratentorial spontaneous haematoma • period 1999 - 2000 • Male : 60% • Female : 40% • mean age: 61 years
Localisation of haematoma supratentorial infratentorial
Localisation of haematoma • Putamen 54 % • Thalamus 12 % • Cerebellum 11 % • Subcortical 23 %
Operation 47,5 ml (20-75 ml)
Stereotaxy • frame - based stereotaxy • Riechert - Mundinger´s stereotactic system or Simple stereotactic device with CT localisation • transcutaneous approach • negative-pressure evacuation of haematoma
Complications - stereotaxy • recurrent parenchymal haemorrhage 7 % • infection 0 % • epidural haemorrhage 1 %
GOS ( 6 months ) • good recovery 22 % • moderate disability 36 % • severe disability 24 % • vegetative state 1% • death 17 %
Conclusions Stereotaxy • stereotaxy is a first choice method in patients indicated for evacuation of spontaneous intracerebral haematoma • as a minimally invasive method, it reduced a risk of complications related to craniotomy and reduced the strain of patients • most interventions are performed in local anaesthesia
Conclusions Craniotomy • Is indicated in patients with rapid neurological deterioration, with developing or existing herniation • Is indicated after unsuccessful stereoaspiration
