    Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10%-20% of all strokes globally, with higher prevalence in Asian populations.

  • 2

    Thalamic hemorrhage (TH) represents 10%-15% of ICH cases and is associated with high mortality and disability rates.

  • 3

    Baseline hematoma volume (HV) is an independent predictor of hematoma expansion and poor outcomes in patients with ICH.

  • 4

    Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) options, such as stereotactic hematoma evacuation and neuroendoscopic surgery, are evaluated for their effectiveness in treating TH.

  • 5

    Clinical prognosis for TH patients is assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days post-admission.
