Case Reports Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Endoscopic surgery for intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) caused by thalamic hemorrhage: comparisons of endoscopic surgery and external ventricular drainage (EVD) surgery.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) caused by thalamic hemorrhage has high mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and the results of endoscopic surgery for the evacuation of IVH caused by thalamic hemorrhage compared with that of external ventricular drainage (EVD) surgery. ⋯ Endoscopic surgery was found to have significantly lower shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, and the ICU stay was shorter compared with EVD surgery. This can decrease the need for permanent VP shunts in patients with IVH caused by thalamic hemorrhage.
