The data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The incidence of complication was 97% (37/38), and the mortality rate was 3% (1/38). The rate of hypesthesia was 37% (14/38), and 43% (6/14) improved 3 month after operation. Hemiplegia rate was 55% (21/38), and the recovery rate was 57% (12/21), the others improved. Disturbance of eyes movement happened in 7 patients among 8 diencephalon disease patients, 5 patients recovered. The rate of facial paresis among pons disease patients was 77% (10/13), 4 patients recovered. Severe complication such as disturbance of consciousness, breath and circulation failure were very low, and the outcome was very good.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The rate of complication that affects living quality is low, most of complications are improved.
