Vasogenic edema following cortical freezing, and its response to dexamethasone were studied in cats. The time course of the edema shown by MRI was the same as that observed by invasive techniques. Dexamethasone retards early edema formation and may reduce its total volume, but does not accelerate it

The middle cerebral artery (MCA) of cats was occluded permanently for 24h to study the influence of arterial hypertension during the early phase of focal ischemia upon the development of endema and changes of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In normotensive animals MCA occlusion results in a hemispher
Cerebral edema is a common clinical disorder that results from an abnormal increase in water content within the extracellular (EC) compartment of the brain. It is distinguished from two other types of brain bulk enlargement: (1) vascular swelling, caused by arterial dilatation or venous obstruction;
