What are the recommendations for the management of cerebral and cerebellar infarction with swelling?
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association recommends that healthcare professionals manage cerebral and cerebellar infarction with swelling using a multidisciplinary approach that includes optimizing blood pressure, identifying and treating other causes of increased intracranial pressure, and providing supportive care and rehabilitation. Additionally, the use of drugs to decrease cerebral edema and reduce intracranial pressure may be considered, as well as surgical decompression in refractory cases.
