Brain oedema or tissue swelling that develops after ischaemic stroke can cause detrimental effects, including brain herniation and increased intracranial pressure (ICP). These effects can be reduced by performing a decompressive craniectomy (DC) operation, in which a portion of the skull is removed to allow swollen brain tissue to expand outside th...

Decompressive Craniectomy (DC) surgery is recommended to treat patients who suffered from large ischaemic cerebral infarction. Although DC surgery has been proven to reduce intracranial pressure (ICP) within the skull, too large of DC opening may contribute to risk of tissue injury. Computational studies nowadays are very useful in predicting and d...

One of the risks of ischaemic stroke reperfusion treatment is the formation of brain oedema. This is usually observed clinically by the formation of herniation, which if not treated, it may disrupt brain functionality. In this paper, a mathematical model of brain oedema formation after stroke has been developed and simulated on an ideal 3D brain ge...
