The 14 pages that link to Cerebral edema, each with the reason it gives.

• Traumatic Brain InjuryRelated: It is a common secondary process that can worsen damage after trauma.

• EdemaBroader topic: The rigid skull makes even localized swelling potentially dangerous.

• Diabetic ketoacidosisRelated: This rare, serious complication occurs especially in children and requires urgent recognition.

• HyponatremiaRelated: A rapid sodium decline can draw water into brain cells and cause swelling.

• Intracranial pressureCompared with: Edema is a tissue-volume change that can raise intracranial pressure, not the pressure itself.

• DexamethasoneRelated: Dexamethasone can reduce edema associated with brain tumors by decreasing vascular permeability.

• Acute liver failureRelated: Severe encephalopathy can progress to brain swelling, a major cause of death.

• Brain tumorRelated: Edema around a tumor can worsen symptoms beyond the tumor's direct effects.

• Intracranial hemorrhageRelated: Edema can accompany a bleed and add to pressure inside the skull.

• HyperammonemiaRelated: Severe ammonia exposure can promote brain swelling, especially in acute liver failure.

• Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretionRelated: Acute hypotonicity can move water into brain cells and cause swelling.

• Brain injuryRelated: Swelling after injury can compress tissue and compromise blood flow.

• Hypertonic solutionRelated: Hypertonic saline may be used to reduce brain-tissue water in carefully monitored treatment.

• Primary amoebic meningoencephalitisRelated: Severe brain inflammation in PAM can cause swelling and dangerous intracranial pressure.
