Cerebral Venous Drainage in Patients With Space-Occupying Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction: Effects on Functional Outcome After Hemicraniectomy

Cerebral Venous Drainage in Patients With Space-Occupying Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction: Effects on Functional Outcome After Hemicraniectomy

Background: Cerebral venous drainage might influence brain edema characteristics and functional outcome of patients with severe ischemic stroke. The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether hypoplasia of transverse sinuses or the internal jugular veins is associated with poor functional outcome...
