Introduction: ischemic stroke is an acute brain injury occurs as a result of an obstruction of a blood vessel supplying a part of the brain. Aim of the work : This study aims to evaluate the rule of surgical decompression in management of brain infarction. Patients and Methods: The study was performed at the Department of Neurosurgery of El Minia university Hospital. Results: According to our study that performed on 20 patient of massive brain infarction who underwent surgical decompression in our department the following are the results. Discussion: Massive brain infarction including malignant MCA infarction or massive cerebellar infarction have been found to result in high morbidity and mortality. Summary: 4-Any patient with massive cerebellar infarction with progressive deterioration in the conscious level despite of conservative treatment should undergo suboccipital decompressive craniectomy, excesion of the infarct tissues and duroplasty.
