2023年7月3日 · Cerebral edema can result from a variety of derangements. The major types include vasogenic, cellular, osmotic, and interstitial. Through these mechanisms, cerebral edema stems from tumor, trauma, hypoxia, infection, metabolic derangements, or acute hypertension.

2023年10月4日 · Types of cerebral edema. There are different types of cerebral edema. Major types include: Vasogenic: Tumors can cause this most common type of cerebral edema. It involves swelling outside of brain cells, and leaky blood vessels cause it. Cellular: This form of cerebral edema happens because of traumatic brain injury and stroke. Another name is ...

2024年7月10日 · As such, a more precise classification is 3,4: cytotoxic cerebral edema. ionic cerebral edema vasogenic cerebral edema. osmotic cerebral edema. Special types of edema to be considered: transependymal edema (also known as interstitial cerebral edema) combined cerebral edema. Treatment and prognosis

Cerebral edema is commonly seen in a variety of brain injuries including ischemic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, subdural, epidural, or intracerebral hematoma, hydrocephalus, brain cancer, brain infections, low blood …

2024年3月28日 · The types of cerebral edema vary based on the cause and severity of the brain injury. They are also dependent on how the injury affects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) , a barrier in the brain that protects immunity by keeping nutrients flowing in and harmful pathogens out.

Vasogenic cerebral edema refers to the influx of fluid and solutes into the brain through an incompetent blood-brain-barrier (BBB) . This is the most common type of brain edema and results from increased permeability of the capillary endothelial cells, the white matter is primarily affected.

There are four primary types of EC edema: (1) vasogenic edema, which results from an increase in brain capillary permeability, the most common type, in which leakage of plasma constituents into the brain follows the pathways of ISF bulk flow and is governed by the interaction of systemic arterial pressure and tissue resistance; (2) osmotic ...

2012年11月23日 · In this article, we will review the pathophysiology and imaging appearances of various causes of cerebral edema. Characterization of edema location and distribution, along with associated parenchymal abnormalities, is critical for early …

2018年9月29日 · Cerebral edema is also known as brain swelling. It’s a life-threatening condition that causes fluid to develop in the brain. This fluid increases the pressure inside of the skull — more...

In this article, we will review the pathophysiology and imaging appearances of various causes of cerebral edema. Characterization of edema location and distribution, along with associated parenchymal abnormalities, is critical for early and accurate diagnosis, workup, and intervention.
