Dynamics of Fluid Movement Through Brain Parenchyma and into the CSF in Vasogenic Brain Edema

  • Conference paper
Brain Edema

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that vasogenic edema spreads in the white matter by bulk flow and not by diffusion [1, 6, 8–12]. On the basis of the pressure-volume curve of the brain extracellular space in edema [2, 7, 9] it was concluded that fluid mobility must be significantly greater in the edematous than in the normal brain.
