Comprehensive characterization of intracranial hemorrhage in deep brain stimulation: a systematic review of literature from 1987 to 2023

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides level III evidence that MER during DBS is a risk factor for ICH. Other risk factors include intraoperative systolic blood pressure > 140 mm Hg, sulcal trajectories, and multiple microelectrode insertions. Avoidance of these risk factors may decrease the rate of ICH.PMID:38518284 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232385
