Treatments For Cerebral Edema

Cerebral edema is something that can occur for a variety of reasons and is life-threatening if allowed to continue for too long. At the base level, it is defined as swelling of the brain. This can be due to excess fluids, such as what would occur during a stroke or injury to the head with bleeding. It can also happen if you experience any head trauma. The body produces an inflammation response immediately, and part of this is an increase in swelling at the site of impact. Regardless of the cause, there are treatment options available to prevent complications.
