Abstract:
Space-occupying brain edema is a life-threatening complication in patients with cerebellar infarction, which occurs in 17-54% of the patients. The level of consciousness should be monitored closely and the changes of CT/MRI should be followed up for cerebellar infarction patients with a higher risk of deterioration. Ventriculostomy/extraventricular drainage and suboccipital decompressive craniectomy should be performed in space-occupying cerebellar infarction patients with clinical deterioration.
