[Our method of management of the cases of intracranial hematoma--late results of the treatment].

An original method of qualification for surgical treatment of patients with non-traumatic intracerebral haematoma is described. The qualification is based on the main elements of the intracranial volume compensation: 1. function of midline structures (F), 2. intracranial pressure features (I), 3. midline structure shift (S). The FIS method was applied in 134 patients; 83 of them were treated surgically and 51 were treated conservatively. The control group comprised 60 patients treated surgically or conservatively with qualification based on other criteria. The use of the FIS method in the preliminary management of patients with non-traumatic intracerebral haematoma made possible a great increase of the survival rate and improvement of the late results of treatment.
