We had tried to perform mechanical aspiration using Hematome and fibrinolytic drainage with Urokinase for treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma(SICH) in 24 patients. Mean initial volume of SICH was 53.65 26.34㎖, mean evacuated amount of SICH after Hematome procedure was 46.25 23.64%, and mean evacuated amount of SICH after fibrinolytic drainage after Urokinase was 74.15 20.89%, compared with pre-operative status. We could aspirate more than 50% of hematoma if the Hematome procedure had been performed within 18 hours after ictus(p=0.0306). The rebleeding rate after Hematome procedure was 8.3%, and overall mortality rate was 12.5%. These results seem to indicate mechanical aspiration using Hematome and fibrinolytic drainage with Urokinase might be one of the useful method for treatment of SICH.
