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.
