Deskripsi
Acute obstructive hydrocephalus is a complication of intraventricular hemorrhage, which requires a combination of medical and surgical treatments. We report a clinical case of intraventricular hemorrhage extension secondary to a ruptured arteriovenous malformation, successfully treated with a combination of methods: endovascular embolization of arteriovenous malformation, external ventricular drainage, intraventricular fibrinolysis with low-dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, and medical treatment with the neurotrophic drug Cerebrolysin in combination with neurorehabilitation.
