Abstract: Objective To study the effects of stereotactic technique on hypertensive basal ganglion hemorrhage. Methods 160 patients with hypertensive basal ganglion hemorrhage were divided into 2 groups: surgical group （132 cases）and conservative group （28 cases）. They were assessed with clinical neurologic impairment scale before and 2 weeks and 4 weeks after treatment. The incidence of rehemorrhage was compared. Results The neurologic impairment scores in surgical group and conservative group were (33.90±3.54) and (33.61±3.82) before treatment (P>0.05), (20.89±3.10) and (26.18±3.61) 2 weeks after treatment (P<0.01), (10.28±2.01) and (15.68±3.28) 4 weeks after treatment (P<0.01), respectively. The incidence of rehemorrhage in surgical group and conservative group were 6.1% and 10.7% (P>0.05), respectively. Conclusion The stereotactic technique may recover neurological function much faster.
