Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (ICH) has become easier to diagnose as a result of modem diagnostic imaging techniques. A number of generally accepted opinions regarding the age and frequency distribution and the so-called typical courses of the disease and prognoses have had to be revised [1, 8]. The appropriate mode of treatment, however, is still under discussion. Neither conservative therapy nor conventional neurosurgery, even with modem microsurgical methods, has been able to improve the unfavorable course and prognosis of ICH [6, 9]. Since 1985 we have used a different approach which consists of the image-based stereotactic evacuation and fibrinolysis of the ICH.
