Pathophysiology of Cerebral Edema—A Comprehensive Review

Cerebral edema is a condition where an excess of cerebral water accumulates due to primary neurological or non-neurological causes. Cerebral edema complicates many brain pathologies causing additional injury often in excess of the original neurological insult. Classic descriptions divide cerebral ed...
