Hemicraniectomy for Massive Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Infarction
Background and Purpose—Hemicraniectomy and durotomy have been proposed in many small series to relieve intracranial hypertension and tissue shifts in patients with large hemispheric infarcts, thereby preventing death from herniation. Our objective was to review the literature to identify patients most likely to benefit from hemicraniectomy. Methods—All available individual cases from the Englis...
متن کاملDecompressive surgery for malignant middle cerebral artery territory infarction
A case of complete middle cerebral artery territory infarction associated with some haemorrhagic transformation at 36 hours post onset, and at one day after decompressive surgery. Note the effect of surgery on midline shift and ventricular compression. The patient survived with a Modifi ed Rankin Score of 3. But would the patient have done as well without surgery? Here we present the two opposi...
متن کاملAtherothrombotic middle cerebral artery territory infarction: topographic diversity with common occurrence of concomitant small cortical and subcortical infarcts.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MRI has superior capabilities for the detection of cerebral infarcts compared with CT. CT was used to locate infarcts in most previous studies of atherothrombotic middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory infarcts. Thus, there was a possibility of missing concomitant small infarcts. More accurate identification of topographic lesions in MCA territory with MRI may help to est...
متن کاملPosterior cerebral artery infarction from middle cerebral artery infarction.
BACKGROUND While it is known that posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarction may simulate middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, the frequency and localization of this occurrence are unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of PCA infarction mimicking MCA infarction and the territory of the PCA most commonly involved in this simulation. DESIGN We studied 202 patients with isolated in...
متن کاملThalamic atrophy following cerebral infarction in the territory of the middle cerebral artery.
We investigated shrinkage of the ipsilateral thalamus following infarction in the territory of the middle cerebral artery in 33 patients who were admitted less than or equal to 2 days after the stroke and who were followed by computed tomography for greater than 1 year with no recurrences. The thalamic area was measured on the computed tomograms, and the ratio of the ipsilateral area to the con...
