We treated 16 patients with hypertensive cerebellar hemorrhage and coma, or deep coma. Their ages ranged from 44 to 79 years (mean age: 66.3 years). Manual aspiration was performed in 9 patients and suboccipital craniectomy was performed in 7 patients. The difference in outcome between the manual aspiration group and the suboccipital craniectomy group with severe hypertensive cerebellar hemorrhage was then evaluated. Manual aspiration was performed for 4 patients in coma, and 5 in deep coma, with a mean age of 69.0 years. The average size of the hematoma was 48.7mm and the mean volume was 31. 7ml on CT scan. The mean interval from admission to operation was about 60 minutes. The mean aspiration rate was 79.6% and 7 patients (77.8%) had a good response to drainage. The suboccipital craniectomy patients included 5 in coma, and 2 in deep coma, with a mean age of 63.4 years. The average size of the hematoma was 51.1 mm and the mean volume was 33.1 ml on CT scan. The mean interval from admission to operation was about 112 minutes and the mean evacuation rate was 86.4%. The results were as follows: 1) After manual aspiration, 5 patients (55.6%) had a good outcome and 2 patients (40%) with deep coma showed good recovery. In contrast, after suboccipital craniectomy only 2 patients (28.6%) had a good outcome and all of the deep coma patients showed poor recovery. 2) The outcome may be most strongly influenced by the duration from admission to operation. 3) All patients with a hematoma volume of over 30 ml had a poor outcome.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
