- Abstract
We report a 43-year-old patient with malignant embolic ischemic stroke in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), treated by decompressive hemicraniectomy. Cerebrovascular ultrasound detected a subtotally occluding thrombus in the right internal carotid artery and a partial occlusion of the ipsilateral MCA. After the surgery, complete recanalization of the affected vessels was observed., (Copyright © 2013 National Stroke Association. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
