The main therapeutic approach is to restore an adequate blood flow to the brain via the process of reperfusion. However, rapid reperfusion can itself aggravate brain damage; this adverse effect is known as ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The pathological conditions that occur after cerebral ischemia and cerebral I/R are microvascular injury, blood–brain barrier dysfunction, post‐ischemic inflammation, increased oxidative stress/reactive oxygen species, and a reduction in neuronal survival, leading to brain infarction. Animal and clinical studies on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) have recently been carried out, and there is evidence of positive effects on neurological outcomes after cerebral ischemia. However, some evidence has shown that HBOT may not affect the functional recovery after ischemic injury. This review describes the current evidence, both in vivo and clinical data, regarding the potential benefits of HBOT after MCAO and cerebral I/R injury. The contrary data are also discussed to verify the effectiveness of HBOT in stroke outcomes.

Objectives To study the association of hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) on noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) brain and subtypes of stroke etiology. Methods This is a retrospective hypothesis testing study. Patients aged 18 or over who had middle cerebral artery occlusion symptoms with HMCAS with verification on brain NCCT and received intravenous thrombolysis between January 2016 and June 2019 were enrolled. The demographic data, clinical outcomes, stroke subtypes, and characteristics of HMCAS were collected from medical records. Results Ninety-nine out of 299 enrolled patients presented with HMCAS. The most common stroke subtype was cardioembolism (59%). Of the baseline characteristics, hypertension was more common in cases of large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) (86.4%), and atrial fibrillation (AF) was the highest in ...
