INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGE
- The complication every stereotactic surgeon plans to avoid
- RISK
- VESSEL / TRAJECTORY
- PREVENTION → DETECTION → RESPONSE
- PLAN — Avoid sulci, vessels, ventricles where feasible; review vascular anatomy.
- CONTROL — Optimize blood pressure and coagulation status; meticulous stereotactic technique.
- RECOGNIZE — New deficit, reduced consciousness, seizure or unexpected deterioration.
- IMAGE — Urgent postoperative CT when clinically indicated.
- MANAGE — Neurosurgical/critical-care pathway according to hematoma, mass effect and deficit.
- Evidence note: systematic review across 13,056 patients estimated ICH at ≈2.9% per patient; symptomatic status and definitions vary.
