Recommendations for the Management of Cerebral and Cerebellar Infarction with Swelling
Stroke 45:1222-1238, Wijdicks, E.F.M.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Swollen cerebral and cerebellar infarcts are critical conditions that warrant immediate, specialized neurointensive care and often neurosurgical intervention. Decompressive craniectomy is a necessary option in many patients. Selected patients may benefit greatly from such an approach, and although disabled, they may be functionally independent.
