Patients with spontaneous, non-traumatic IVH (n=80) and those with associated small intracerebral hemorrhage <35 cm 3 (ICH), which were treated in our department during 2008-2012 were included in this study. The cut-off size of 35 cm 3 was chosen in view of a parallel study of treatment of basal ganglia hemorrhage with rt-PA. Diagnosis was made by CT scanning within 24 hours after onset. A rigid external ventricular drainage (EVD) was implanted via frontal burr hole at the dominant side of the
