Traumatic Brain Swelling and Brain Edema

  • Chapter
Celebral Contusions, Lacerations and Hematomas

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurotraumatology ((NEUROTRAUMATOL.,volume 3))

Abstract

In a similar manner to other tissues of the human body, the brain responds to an injury with disturbances of cerebral metabolism and blood flow, leading to hyperemia and edema. Increases in cerebral blood volume and water content of brain tissue, or a combination of the two, lead to brain bulk enlargement. The cause of this phenomenon is still an object of intensive research activity, however, even the terms and definitions for this phenomenon have not been already established to date.
