Accepting the definition of edema as an abnormal accumulation of a fluid in a tissue, two basic types of brain edema (BE) namely, vasogenic and cytotoxic have been recognized (5). This classification is based on recognition of two fundamentally different pathomechanisms involved, as well as, on predominance of extracellular or intracellular localization of the edema fluid in respective types.
