The indication for surgical intervention in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage remains controversial. Although many clinical trials have failed to demonstrate its efficacy over medical treatment, less invasive endoscopic treatment is expected to demonstrate its superiority. A novel endoscopic system for hematoma removal consisting of a 3.1-mm-diameter 4K high-resolution rigid endoscope was used.The system was used in eight cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. It provided improved maneuverability of the surgical instrument while maintaining satisfactory image quality. The surgical goal was achieved in all cases without any complications, including perioperative rebleeding.Endoscopic hematoma removal using the 3.1 mm high-resolution endoscope is an alternative minimally invasive approach to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage with improved reliability.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the short-, mid-, and long-term outcomes in patients with malignant intracranial hypertension undergoing either decompressive craniectomy (DC) or hinge craniotomy (HC).

Methods: In this prospective RCT, 38 patients diagnosed with malignant intracranial hypertension due to ischemic infarction, traumatic brain injury, or non-lesional spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, who required cranial decompression, were randomly allocated to the DC and HC groups.

Results: The need for reoperation, particularly cranioplasty, in the DC group was significantly different from that in the HC group.

Purpose: For patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), recurrence can lead to worsening conditions and increased mortality. Statins have neuroprotective benefits and might help prevent ICH recurrence. However, the effectiveness of statins remains controversial.

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) represents a life-threatening form of stroke, marked by its impact on survival and quality of life. ICH can be categorized from monogenic disorders linked to causal germline variants in ICH-related genes to complex sporadic cases, highlighting the interaction among lifestyle factors, environmental influences, and genetic components in determining risk. Among sporadic ICH, the influence of these factors varies across ICH subtypes, evidenced by heritability rates of up to 73% for lobar ICH versus 34% for non-lobar ICH.

Background: There is growing interest and evidence in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation with minimally invasive surgery (MIS). If early ICH evacuation becomes the standard of care, training neurointerventionalists to perform MIS would expand global access to treatment. We present a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent MIS-ICH evacuation performed by interventional neurologists in collaboration with neurosurgeons.
