Abstract
|
|
|
About 15% of the patients with the middle cerebral artery or internal carotid artery territory acute infarction can lead to massive cerebral edma with raised intracranial pressure and progression to coma or death within 3-5 days of the original
ictus.
Decompressive wide unilateral frontotemporoparietooccipital craniectomy with duroplasty should be given in appropriate time if patient had no effect incombating transtentorial herniation with medical therapy such as mannitol and hyperventilation.
Occlusion of posterior inferior cerebellar artery or vertebral artery and superior cerebellar artery can evolve into life-threatening brainstem compression or hydrocephalus from postinfarct cerebellar edema. Suboccipital decompressive craniectomy
with
resection of necrotic cerebellar tissue or extraventricular drainage may be an effective lifesaving procedure in case of no improvement with medical therapy. Very few cases of acute infarction with embolic occlusion of main trunk of middle
cerebral
artery which confirmed by angiography within 6-8 hours after onset may be considered to have embolectomy by open craniotomy.
