METHOD FOR TREATING TOTAL HEMOTAMPONADE OF BRAIN VENTRICLES Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out biauricular incision of skin and aponeurosis, bifrontal decompression craniotomy, cutting cerebral cortex in the projection of the second frontal gyrus of both hemispheres. Anterior horn access is performed and hematoma is removed through it from the lateral ventricle using suction member and through Monro foramen from the third brain ventricle. The wound is sutured; the lateral ventricles of the brain are drained using Arendt method. Resection type trepanation of the posterior cranial fossa from the medial cut making resection of the posterior half-arch of the atlas. The fourth ventricle cavity is accessed between the cerebellar tonsils. Hematoma is removed using suction member. The wound is sutured. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of treatment.
