Long-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 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...
