Abstract
A 35-year-old pregnant woman was admitted through the emergency room f or a deep coma due to spontaneous massive intraventricular hemorrhage. High-dose urokinase was given intraventricularly for five days. The c linical outcome was very favorable. Few similar cases have been report ed in the literature. Intraventricular urokinase therapy may deserve c onsideration in the treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage, a condit ion for which no effective surgical treatment is available.
