BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Early identification of malignant cerebral edema (MCE) in patients with acute ischemic stroke is crucial for timely interventions. We aimed to identify regions critically associated with MCE using the ASPECTS to evaluate the association between location-specific net water uptake (NWU) and MCE.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This multicenter, retrospective cohort study included patients with acute ischemic stroke following large anterior circulation occlusion. The ASPECTS was det…
