Abstract

As we enter the century of prevention is better than cure, we cannot help to infuse into it the term, do not harm. Stroke remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Mainstay of treatment remains prevention of further neurological deterioration and sub sequentially prevention of recurrences. The role of neurosurgery in the treatment of its mass effect remains controversial in this time and day. Studies have proven it to reduce mortality; however, morbidity remains the same. While every case referred has its own criteria to offer surgical intervention, each case is still unique to which their presentation may differ in its own accordance and risks factors underlying the mentioned disease processes. While certain criteria are taken into consideration in intervening, sometimes the clinical picture may vary accordingly. The challenge remains when to operate and when to not.
