[Hematomas located in the basal ganglia and thalamus (diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects)].
A series of 129 cases of spontaneous intracerebral hematomas of ganglio-basal and thalamic localization was studied. Out of the number, twenty were thalamic hematomas. Only hematomas of hypertensive and unknown etiology were analysed. In all patients included in the study, the diagnosis was established using clinical methods and confirmed using radiological methods. Thalamic hemorrhages were treated conservatively, while those of ganglio-basal localization were treated both conservatively and surgically, depending on localization and initial clinical picture. The results of the treatment and quality of life in survivors were directly dependent upon the clinical and radiological parameters.
