Hematoma evacuation based on active strategies versus conservative treatment in the management of moderate basal ganglia hemorrhage: A retrospective study

The internal capsule of the basal ganglia is vulnerable to direct pressure from the hematoma and to secondary damage from toxic products of hemorrhage. Our study evaluated the risk and benefits of active strategies including ultra-early surgery and hematoma evacuation through a transsylvian-transinsular approach for moderate basal ganglia hemorrhage.
