Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) caused by thalamic hemorrhage leads to hydrocephalus, increased intracranial pressure, and reduced levels of consciousness. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and compare the results of endoscopic surgery for the evacuation of a thalamic and intraventricular hematoma against those of external ventricular drainage (EVD) surgery.
