The Mean

Object Middle cerebral artery infarction often occurs at a younger age than other strokes and is associated with significant rates of mortality and morbidity. After a period of pessimism regarding decompressive hemicraniectomy in the management of acute stroke, the method has reemerged in the past decade. The present study was undertaken to assess the immediate and long-term outcome of this intervention and to help better define the selection criteria for surgery. Methods The authors conducted a nonrandomized prospective study using decompressive hemicraniectomy with duraplasty in patients at various stages of clinical deterioration due to a space-occupying middle cerebral artery infarct. Patients were assessed at 6 and 12 months postinfarction by using functional scales. Subjective reconsideration was assessed using a questionnaire. Twenty-six patients were included in the study. The mean age was 48.4 ± 11.2 years, and the mean preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale score was 9.9 ± 3.2. The median time from ictus to surgery was 54 hours (range 13–288 hours). The rate of survival at 1 year postsurgery was 73%. Among survivors, 33.3% were independent (Barthel Index [BI] > 95) and 55.6% were partially dependent (BI 60–95) at 1 year postsurgery, with 72% attaining the ability to walk independently by 1 year postsurgery. No patient remained in a vegetative state. The 1-year BI score was inversely related to patient age (r = − 0.47, p = 0.048). Conclusions Survival after decompressive hemicraniectomy was better than previously reported using medical management alone. A vegetative state was avoided and functional independence was possible, especially in younger patients. Increasing age was a statistically significant predictor of disability and long-term functional dependence.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy is the surgical procedure to reduce intracranial pressure, refractory to medical measures. We have described our experience associated with the clinical profile, radiological profile, postoperative status and long term outcome in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory infarct.Methods: Data were collected from patients who underwent hemispheric decompressive craniectomy for malignant MCA territory infarct in our hospital from May 2014 to June 2019. Clinical, radiological, surgical profile and long term outcome were studied.Results: There were a total of 51 patients aged between 28 years to 76 years. Hypertension (70%) was the most common comorbidity associated. All the patients had at least one focal neurological deficit at the time of presentation. Mean time from the first symptoms to surgery was 2.4 days (about 58 hours). 7 patients died within one month of the surgery. Two third improved objectively within 1 month of surgery. Out of 44 patients, who survived beyond one month, none of the patients were functionally independent after one year of surgery (modified Rankin scale (mRS) of 0 or 1). The patients had a mean mRS of 3.8 at one year.Conclusions: Over several decades decompressive craniectomy has been found to be the most effective measure to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with malignant MCA territory infarct. Early surgery (<48 hours) in patients with good Glasgow Coma scale score reduces the mortality. Larger multicentric trials are required to look at the long term effect on morbidity and mortality.
