Effect of minimally invasive aspiration in treatment of massive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective: To observe the effect of minimally invasive aspiration combined with medication in patients with massive spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Methods: Twenty-three patients with massive primary intracerebral hematoma (>50 mL), presenting with depressed consciousness, were recruited. Minimally invasive aspiration was applied within 72 h after onset, along with mannitol or furosemide to lower the intracranial pressure and symptomatic treatment.
