Abstract

The significance of cerebral edema as a problem in neurology is evident from the enthusiastic response to our invitation to this workshop. It is fair to say that we know much more today about the mechanism of brain edema than we did 20 years ago, largely because of the contributions by many of those who are participating in the Montreal workshop and who have met for analysis and critical discussion on several previous occasions, notably at the conferences in Vienna in 1965 (5) and in Mainz in 1972 (13).
