Brain Swelling and Brain Edema
Keywords:
Brain swelling, Brain edemaAbstract
Is the term “brain swelling” used to describe the increase in brain bulk or is it traditionally reserved for intracellular distension by hyperhydration of brain parenchyma? If the latter is true should it be synonymous with intracellular type of brain edema or should the term “brain edema” be reserved only for extracellular distension by hyperhydration in brain parenchyma?
