Molecular pathophysiology of cerebral edema.
Advancements in molecular biology have led to a greater understanding of the individual proteins responsible for generating cerebral edema. In large part, the study of cerebral edema is the study of maladaptive ion transport. Following acute CNS injury, cells of the neurovascular unit, particularly brain endothelial cells and astrocytes, undergo a program of pre- and post-transcriptional change...
متن کاملMolecular Pathophysiology of Cerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is an often fatal type of stroke that kills 30 000 people annually in the United States. If the patient survives the ictus, then the resulting hematoma within brain parenchyma triggers a series of adverse events causing secondary insults and severe neurological deficits. This article discusses selected aspects of secondary brain injury after ICH and outlines key m...
متن کاملPathophysiology of "reverse" edema in global cerebral ischemia.
A small percentage of patients who suffer a global cerebral hypoxic/ischemic event develop reversal of the normal density relationships of gray and white matter on CT. CT and pathologic findings in the three cases presented indicate that this phenomenon appears to result from distension of deep medullary veins secondary to partial obstruction of venous outflow from elevated intracranial pressur...
متن کاملPathophysiology of cerebral edema in fulminant hepatic failure.
F hepatic failure (FHF) is a devastating disease and is still associated with a high mortality (1). FHF results in progressive multi-organ failure with a dramatic impact on the brain. Indeed, development of intracranial hypertension (IH) is a leading cause of death in FHF. During this decade two theories have independently emerged to explain the pathogenesis of cerebral edema and intrac...
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.
