Background and Purpose—Early identification of acute stroke patients at risk of fatal brain
swelling is necessary to facilitate implementation of aggressive therapies. Initial clinical …

Background and Purpose—Early identification of stroke patients at risk for fatal brain edema
may be useful in selecting patients for aggressive interventions. Prior studies suggested that …

Background and Purpose—In malignant infarction, brain edema leads to secondary
neurological deterioration and poor outcome. We sought to determine whether swelling is …

Background and Purpose—The present study was undertaken to identify potential predictors
of and factors associated with early and late progression in acute stroke. We performed …

Background: We performed a systematic review to identify predictors of the development of
life-threatening brain edema in patients with middle cerebral artery infarction. Methods: We …

Object The purpose of this study was to determine whether cerebral blood flow (CBF)
measurements in acute stroke could be correlated with the subsequent development of …

Background and Purpose—Malignant brain edema after ischemic stroke has high mortality
but limited treatment. Therefore, early prediction is important, and we systematically …

All cases of acute supratentorial cerebral infarction which came to postmortem examination
over the past 10 years at the Philadelphia General Hospital were reviewed. Of a total of 353 …

Background Although capacities for intensive monitoring of patients with stroke are still
limited, patients at risk for early neurologic worsening are poorly defined. Objective To …

Large supratentorial infarctions play an important role in early mortality and severe disability
from stroke. However, data concerning these types of infarction are scarce. Using data from …
