 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Minimally invasive puncture and drainage for chronic subdural hematoma 48 cases observed [Abstract] Objective To investigate the minimally invasive puncture and drainage in the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (chronic subdural hematoma.CSDH) is feasible. Methods 48 cases of chronic subdural hematoma patients minimally invasive treatment. The results of this study applied a special Clear CSDH48 intracranial hematoma puncture needle cases, results were satisfactory. Conclusion Minimally invasive puncture and drainage for chronic subdural hematoma is simple, minor trauma, fewer complications, safe and economic results were satisfactory. [Keywords:] minimally invasive chronic subdural hematoma 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General Information: Choose from October 2007 to February 2010 I received CSDH48 department of neurosurgery patients, 40 patients were male, 8 females, aged 52-80 years, mean age 63.5 years. Include: unilateral hematoma 39 cases, 9 cases of bilateral hematoma: a clear history of head injury 40 cases, 8 cases of unknown causes. course of 21-160d, the average (36 + -6) d. both clinical headache, dizziness, vomiting, varying degrees of limb weakness, mild paralysis, unsteady gait, consciousness and mental disorders in different performance. All patients underwent head CT examination: cranial plates can be seen under the crescent or half moon showed equal density or low-density and mixed density shadow, lateral compression, midline shift to varying degrees. Unilateral hematoma, midline shift which is greater than all of 1.0cm, bilateral hematomas were no significant midline shift. Hematoma on average (130.00 + -25.00) ml. 1.2 Methods Prevent wound infection and other accidents, all cases were minimally invasive operation in the operating room. According to the thickness of CT slice select hematoma level, pay attention to the scalp to avoid the superficial temporal artery and main branches of the mid
