Abstract
Apart from particular clinical situations which may require additional provision, the treatment of peritumoral brain edema is substantially based on two groups of drugs: corticosteroids and diuretics. The aim of this study is to quantify the therapeutic effect of different forms of treatment (including a continued therapy), and to increase understanding of the dynamic process of formation and resolution of brain edema.
