title: Comparison on different strategies for treatments of hypertensive hemorrhage in the basal ganglia region with a volume of 25 to 35 ml.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare curative effect of different treatments for hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage of 25 to 35 ml.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this study, 595 cases were enrolled and grouped regarding treatments including conservative treatment, evacuation with microinvasive craniopuncture technique within 6h and 6-48 h after the attack.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After follow up for three months after the attack, the assessment based on the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) indicated no significant difference among conservative treatment and surgical interventions (p>0.05). However, surgical interventions showed advantages of shorter hospitalization, quick removal of hematoma and obvious reduction of cost.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The microinvasive craniopuncture technique to drain the hematoma within 6-48 h may be a good way in treating hypertensive hemorrhage of basal ganglia region.
