Minimally invasive surgery for intracranial hemorrhage in infants: report of 22 cases.
OBJECTIVE
To explore surgical management of intracranial hemorrhage in infants.


METHODS
A retrospective analysis was conducted of the clinical data of 22 infants with intracranial hemorrhage resulting from late-onset vitamin K-deficiency.


RESULTS
All the patients were cured by surgical approach with minimal invasion for the clearance of intracranial hematoma, on the basis of pediatric diagnosis and treatment protocols.


CONCLUSIONS
Minimally invasive surgery used to clear intracranial hematoma may minimize the sequela in the nerve system and reduce the mortality of intracranial hemorrhage in infants.
