Space-occupying cerebellar infarction. Clinical course and prognosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because the timing and strategy of surgical intervention in massive cerebellar infarction remains controversial, we report our experience with the management of 52 such patients. METHODS Case records, computed tomographic scans, surgical reports, and angiograms of 52 patients with space-occupying cerebellar infarction defined by computed tomographic criteria were reeval...
متن کاملLong-term outcome after surgical treatment for space-occupying cerebellar infarction: experience in 56 patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgical management of space-occupying cerebellar infarction is still controversial. Data on long-term outcome are lacking. The objective of this study was (1) to evaluate outcome after at least 3 years poststroke in patients with space-occupying cerebellar infarction treated by ventriculostomy/extraventricular drainage (EVD) or suboccipital decompressive craniectomy (SDC...

متن کاملCerebellar infarction: natural history, prognosis, and pathology.
Using clinical and computed tomography (CT) criteria, an analysis of 2,000 consecutive stroke unit patients from 1977 to 1984 revealed 30 patients with cerebellar infarction. The case fatality rate was 23%, higher than for any other location of brain infarction studied over the same period. Death was most often due to concomitant brainstem infarction. Obstructive hydrocephalus occurred in 4 pat...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of surgical decompression for space-occupying hemispheric infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Surgical decompression reduces mortality and increases the probability of a favorable functional outcome after space-occupying hemispheric infarction. Its cost-effectiveness is uncertain. METHODS We assessed clinical outcomes, costs, and cost-effectiveness for the first 3 years in patients who were randomized to surgical decompression or best medical treatment within 48...
