Entende-se por infarto maligno aquele que acomete mais da metade do territorio da arteria cerebral media, atingindo niveis de mortalidade de ate 80%. A craniotomia descompressiva tem se mostrado como tecnica operatoria capaz de reduzir significativamente essas taxas. No entanto, persistem na literatura muitas duvidas quanto a indicacao do procedimento relacionadas a idade, hemisferio cerebral acometido, time cirurgico e status neurologico pre-operatorio. Analisamos 10 pacientes vitimas de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) isquemicos extensos, tratados no hospital SEMPER-BH, levando-se esses fatores em consideracao. Concluimos que a idade e o quadro neurologico previo ao momento cirurgico sao os dois fatores mais importantes no prognostico do paciente submetido a craniotomia descompressiva. It is understood that malignant infarction affects more than half of the middle cerebral artery territory and reaches mortality rates up to 80%. A decompressive craniotomy has been recommended as the surgical technique that can significantly reduce these rates. However, many questions persist in the literature as the indication of the procedure related to age, hemisphere affected, surgical time and preoperative neurological status. We analyzed 10 patients who suffered extensive ischemic stroke treated in hospital SEMPER-BH taking these factors into consideration. We conclude that age and neurological status prior to the surgical time are the two most important factors in the prognosis of patients undergoing decompressive craniotomy.
