DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2016.12.001
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction frequently develop hydrocephalus after decompressive hemicraniectomy. Hydrocephalus itself and known shunt related complications after ventriculo-peritoneal shunt implantation may negatively impact patientś outcome. Here, we aimed to identify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00207454.2020.1713773
Abstract: Abstract Background The benefit of decompressive hemicraniectomy in patients with malignant acute ischemic stroke is well established, however its role in supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages is unclear and evolving. Prior studies combined cortical and subcortical hemorrhages… read more here.
