Background: Although associated with controversy, decompressive craniotomy (DC) for malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMCAI) is an unequivocally lifesaving intervention. DC for MMCAI is rarely performed in lower- to middle-income countries. Methods: A systemic review was performed in attempt to determine the rates of utilization and outcomes of DC on the African continent. Results: Only two African studies describing DC for MMCAI were found. Conclusion: DC for MMCAI is rarely performed and/or reported on the African continent. The African perspective for this needs to be urgently broadened.
