Decompressive hemicraniectomy in ischemic stroke

Malignant hemispheric stroke (MHS) is a life-threatening event, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHS) is the treatment of choice to relieve the emerging space-occupying brain edema. This review details the pathophysiological and scientific background, considerations for clinical decision making, surgical treatment and impact on the patients’ outcome. Although surgery reduces mortality significantly, the probability for unfavorable outcome is still high in selected cases. While former randomized controlled studies aimed for the prevention of the primary cause, the current research focuses on the treatment and prevention of secondary neurological injury.
