ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effects and influencing factors of the outcomes of early microsurgical treatment in patients with intracerebral hematoma from ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Methods From 2010 to 2016, patients with intracerebral hematoma from ruptured intracranial aneurysm admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, Xinyu People's Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The demographic data, Hunt-Hess grade,Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score,imaging data,and procedure-related complications were collected. Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score was used to evaluate the outcomes. Four to 5 were defined as good outcome and 1 to 3 were defined as poor outcome. The Hunt-Hess gradesⅡ-Ⅲ were used as the low-grade group and the Ⅳ-Ⅴ grades were used as the high-grade group. The survival rate and quality of life of both groups of patients were compared according to the GOS scores. Results A total of 36 patients were enrolled during the study, including 32 with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hematoma and 4 with simple intracerebral hematoma. Hunt-Hess grade was grade Ⅱ in 2 cases, Ⅲ in 18 cases, Ⅳ in 14 cases, and Ⅴ in 2 cases. Distribution of responsible aneurysms:18 patients in middle cerebral artery, 9 in anterior communicating artery, 6 in anterior cerebral artery, 3 in posterior communicating artery, including 4 patients with multiple aneurysms. All patients underwent aneurysm clipping+hematoma removal under the general anesthesia within 36 h after onset,24 of them were treated with decompressive craniectomy. One patient died of severe brain swelling after intraoperative reruptureof the aneurysm,1 died of postoperative massive cerebral infarction, and 1 died of severe pulmonary infection and diabetes after giving up further treatment. Thirty-three survivors were followed up for 1 year, 29 had good outcome(80.5％) and 7 had poor outcome (19.5％). There were significant differences in survival rate and quality of life between the low-grade group and the high-grade group (P=0.001). There were significant differences in the Hunt-Hess grade, baseline GCS score, and proportion of patients receiving decompressive craniectomy between the good outcome group and the poor outcome group.Conclusion The Hunt-Hess grade, baseline GCS score, and decompressive craniectomy were the influencing factors of the outcomes in patients with intracerebral hematoma from ruptured intracranial aneurysm. Removal of hematoma and aneurysm clipping should be performed as early as possible,and decompressive craniectomy should be performed if necessary.
