Abstract

Malignant cerebral edema is a complication of large volume ischemic stroke secondary to middle cerebral artery occlusion. Left untreated, it can lead to death in up to 80% of cases. While medical options for management are limited, surgical decompression can play a key role in reducing mortality and, in some cases, improving functional outcomes.
