Studies on the Water Content of Cerebral Tissues and Intracranial Pressure in Vasogenic Brain Oedema

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure

Abstract

Though there have been many investigations on the problems around cerebral edema and raised intracranial pressure in the last few years and valuable contributions have been made to the solution of these problems [1–9], numerous questions still remained unanswered.
