Space-occupying cerebellar stroke (SOCS) when coupled with neurological deterioration represents a neurosurgical emergency. Although current evidence supports surgical intervention in such patients with SOCS and rapid neurological deterioration, the optimal surgical methods/techniques to be applied remain a matter of debate. ⋯ In the setting of SOCS, patients treated with necrosectomy displayed better functional outcomes than those patients who underwent SDC alone. Ultimately, prospective, randomized studies will be needed to confirm this finding.
