Relationship Between Ischemic Neuronal Damage and Edema in Primate and Rodent Brain

  • Conference paper
Dynamics of Brain Edema

Abstract

Post-ischemic cerebral edema is unique in that it is more or less proportional to the extent of neuronal damage. The latter is expressed as the process of ischemic cell change (17) which may implicate a neuronal population ranging from a few scattered cells to a majority of those within one or more major regions of the brain, even within a single species and even after a controlled ischemic stress. The earliest alterations within the neuron are subtle and they narrowly precede the first recognizable evidence of edema.
