Abstract
Brain edema following head injury is considered to be a major factor in the generation of the subsequent increase in intracranial pressure (ICP). Moderate brain edema can still be controlled in many cases by various techniques such as hyperventilation, administration of hyperosmotic drugs and steroids, and internal or external decompression of the brain, but severe brain edema is untreatable in most cases.
