Brain edema is associated with
(A) Increase in ECF volume # Vasogenic edema occurs when the integrity of the normal blood-brain barrier is disrupted. With increased vascular permeability, fluid shifts from the vascular compartment into intercellular spaces of the brain (ECF compartment). Vasogenic edema can be either localized-because of abnormal permeability of vessels adjacent to inflammation or tumors-or generalized.> Cytotoxic edema implies an increase in intracellular fluid secondary to neuronal, glial, or endothelial cell membrane injury, as might be encountered in an individual with a generalized hypoxic/ischemic insult or with exposure to some toxins.
Increase in ECF volume
Increase brain water content
Increase volume in interstitial space
