    Ischemic edema significantly impacts outcomes in ischemic stroke, particularly in patients with large hemispheric infarcts.

  • 2

    Midline shift (MLS) is a common method for quantifying ischemic edema but only reflects large infarcts and is influenced by other factors.

  • 3

    CT densitometry-based measurements provide a more accurate quantification of ischemic edema, allowing for assessment of smaller infarcts.

  • 4

    The study aimed to compare edema volume (EV) and MLS as predictors of malignant infarction and poor functional outcomes in large baseline infarcts.

  • 5

    Patients with anterior circulation large baseline infarcts were analyzed to evaluate the reliability of EV as an imaging biomarker for edema.
