About this trial
To compare the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma removal and standard conservative treatment for patients with spontaneous supratentorial deep intracerebral hemorrhage.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age 18-80 years, either sex.
Time from onset to the first diagnostic CT within 24 hours (for those without bystanders and with unknown onset time, use the last known time the patient was in good condition)
Deep (external capsule, putamen, internal capsule, caudate nucleus) supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage with a hematoma volume ≥ 25 ml.
Stability of the hematoma determined by two CT scans at different times after onset. If the hematoma enlarges 5ml then the stability of the hematoma can be detected by CT again after 6 hours until the randomization time window is closed.
Disqualifiers
Hemorrhage clinically diagnosed as a result of cerebral aneurysm, cerebrovascular malformation, moyamoya disease, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, hemorrhagic transformation of a large cerebral infarct, coagulation dysfunction.
Lobar hemorrhages, thalamic hemorrhages, primary ventricular hemorrhages, cerebellum hemorrhages and brain stem hemorrhages.
Hematoma involving the midbrain, with dilated or unresponsive pupils.
Hematoma producing life-threatening occupying effects (e.g., CT showing midline deviation of more than 1 cm, loss of cisterna ambiens) or patients who are extremely unstable and unfit for enrollment.
