Brain edema due to venous thrombosis following stereotactic radiosurgery for a cerebral arteriovenous malformation (AVM) has rarely been reported. We report a patient with a large AVM in the eloquent area, and brain edema developed in this area after repeat Gamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery (GKRS). An 18-year-old female presented with a 4-year-history of persistent headache. Magnetic resona...

Aim In Japan, goreisan (GRS) is used to alleviate cerebral edema and relieve headaches. Although improvement of water maldistribution in the brain may be one mechanisms action GRS for headache, scientific evidence limited. Here, we aimed investigate mechanism against headaches, focusing on dynamics brain. Methods We a well-established mouse model evaluate effects related symptoms content. The w...

OBJECTIVE We report a risk of worsening of encephalopathy by glycerol infusion when this osmotic agent is used for the treatment of brain edema in patients with adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) caused by citrin deficiency. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective investigation of 3 patients with CTLN2 treated for brain edema at our institute: a 31-year-old male patient and a...

RATIONALE Apatinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2, which has observed to be effective and safe in refractory radiation-induced brain edema, like Avastin did. Till now, there is no case report after apatinib came in the market. PATIENT CONCERNS Two patients who received brain radiotherapy developed clinical manifestations of brain e...

Introduction: Recent studies have reported that the Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis miller) plant has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study evaluated the neuroprotective effects of different doses of Aloe vera extract after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in male rats. Materials and Methods:  In this study, 70 male rats were divided into 2 groups; each group consists of 5 of sub-g...

Brain edema was induced in rats by injecting 50 mu microspheres, labelled with 85Sr, into the internal carotid artery. The use of radioactive microspheres as embolic agents enabled the number of microspheres to be determined in each cerebral hemisphere. Edema was assessed 12 or 24 h after embolization by measuring brain water content and, in some experiments, sodium and potassium. Pretreatments...

BACKGROUND Symptomatic peri-lead edema is a rare complication of deep brain stimulation that has been reported to develop 4 to 120 days postoperatively. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report the case of a 63-year-old Hispanic man with an 8-year history of Parkinson's disease who underwent bilateral placement of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation leads and presented with acute, symptomatic,...

Secondary insults such as brain edema are an important and relatively common event occurring after traumatic injury (TBI), leading to consequences raised intracranial pressure cerebral herniation. Further, posttraumatic inflammatory changes known significantly contribute neuronal dysfunction.

The pathogenesis of delayed cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage is still unclear. In this case report, we speculate that the formation subdural effusion or associated with edema. By referring to treatment plan chronic hematoma, adding dexamethasone routine medication, certain therapeutic effect has been achieved. Dexamethasone may maintain stability blood-brain barrier by directly inc...
