Objective: This study aimed to explore Malignant Brain Edema (MBE) and associated factors in patients with Large Hemispheric Infarction (LHI) following early reperfusion therapy.
Methods: We consecutively and retrospectively enrolled a cohort of 114 LHI patients who had received early reperfusion therapy, including Intravenous Thrombolysis (IVT) or Endovascular Therapy (EVT) at the hyperacute stage of stroke between January 2009 and December 2018. MBE was defined as a midline shift ≥5 mm, accompanied by signs of herniation.
