Abstract:
Malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAI) is a critically ill neurological disease, which often leads to the rapid deterioration of neurological function, resulting in consciousness disturbance and even death. Therefore, early identification and judgment of mMCAI to determine the need for lateral craniectomy decompression is essential to improve the survival rate of patients. With the development of neuroimaging technology, some CT and MRI parameters have been able to predict mMCAI. This article reviews the predictive value of CT and MR related parameters to mMCAI.
