Özet

Effects of decompressive craniectomy after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) were investigated in rats. In control group (n:13) MCA was couterized via a 3mm subtemporal craniectomy. In decompression group (n:11) after MCAO through 3mm craniectomy additional bone (9x5 mm) was removed dawn to the floor of the middle and temporal fossa and dura left open. 24 h after occlusion the rats were neurologically examined. After decapitation brains were stained with TTC and infarct areas were evaluated with computerized analysing method.
