[Intravascular hypothermia for cerebral ischemia after microsurgical clipping of complex MCA aneurysms].

Early hypothermia for acute ischemic injury after surgery for complex MCA aneurysms can reduce ischemic perifocal edema. This approach effectively reduces ICP and can exclude the need for decompressive craniotomy in some cases. No side effects of hypothermia justifies further research in this field.
