Open AccessLarge diameter hemicraniectomy does not improve long-term outcome in malignant infarction
In malignant cerebral infarction decompressive hemicraniectomy has demonstrated beneficial effects, but the optimum size of hemicraniectomy is still a matter of debate. Some surgeons prefer a large-sized hemic...

Open AccessLong-term outcome after decompressive hemicraniectomy for malignant middle cerebral artery infarction
Although decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) is a lifesaving treatment strategy for patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAi), only one in four patients achieves low to moderate post-st...
