Abstract

Cerebral infarcts with space occupying brain oedema are termed as 'malignant' due to poor prognosis associated with them. Recent advances in aggressive management of cerebral oedema and attempts to reperfuse the ischaemic zone have helped only selected patients. We document a patient with 'malignant' cerebral infarct with poor outcome.
