The authors reflect on the devastating forms of ischemic cerebral disease in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts associated with life-threatening cytotoxic edema that could lead to mortality. They examine the efficacy of hemicraniectomy as treatment for malignant MCA infarction which help reduce mortality rates from 46% to 27%. The authors cite the disability versus opting for comfort care of patients with MCA. |
