Measurement of brain edema by noninvasive cerebral electrical impedance in patients with massive hemispheric cerebral infarction.
BACKGROUND Malignant cerebral infarction often occurs in patients with massive cerebral infarction. Monitoring brain edema is therefore helpful to make correct clinical decisions. Our previous studies have confirmed that cerebral electrical impedance (CEI) can sensitively reflect the brain edema after stroke. METHODS The CEI was measured consecutively by a noninvasive brain edema monitor in 6...
متن کاملCEREBRAL EDEMA: A RARE COMPLICATION IN GALACTOSEMIA
A 34 day-old girl infant was admitted for poor feeding and cholestasis. She had a bulging fontanelle, with no evidence of intracranial infection or hemorrhage. Investigations demonstrated that she had galactosemia. Computed tomographic scans demonstrated the presence of diffuse cerebral edema. After treatment the edema resolved.
متن کاملLogic and Cerebral Hemispheric Interaction
In this paper we examine the weakest formal languages permitting a characterization of: 1. Certain functional asymmetries which exist between the left and right cerebral hemispheres; and 2. 'Interpretation' in natural languages. Correlations between the weakest formal languages required provide a minimal framework for exploring hemispheric interaction, and allow formulation of constraints on th...
متن کاملHigh altitude cerebral edema.
This review focuses on the epidemiology, clinical description, pathophysiology, treatment, and prevention of high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). HACE is an uncommon and sometimes fatal complication of traveling too high, too fast to high altitudes. HACE is distinguished by disturbances of consciousness that may progress to deep coma, psychiatric changes of varying degree, confusion, and ataxia...
متن کاملTreatment of cerebral edema.
BACKGROUND Cerebral edema is a potentially devastating complication of various acute neurologic disorders. Its successful treatment may save lives and preserve neurologic function. REVIEW SUMMARY Different pathophysiological mechanisms are responsible for the formation of cytotoxic and vasogenic edema. Yet, these 2 types of edema often coexist and their treatment tends to overlap, with the ex...
