Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with the highest mortality among all forms of stroke. Evolution in the medical management of ICH has not improved patient outcomes while the results of conventional surgery have generally been disappointing. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) using stereotactic clot aspiration followed by clot lysis is gaining credibility as an alternative management strategy. We review the published data on this methodology in the treatment of ICH.
