Neuroendoscopic evacuation of intraventricular hematoma associated with thalamic hemorrhage to shorten the duration of external ventricular drainage

摘要

Background:We report neuroendoscopic evacuation of an intraventricular hematoma (IVH) in 13 patients with thalamic hemorrhage. We discuss strategies to improve the outcome and to shorten the management period by using external ventricular drainage (EVD).
