Cerebral Edema Treatment
Cerebral Edema Treatment
Cerebral edema is a condition where there is excess fluid buildup in the brain, causing swelling and increased pressure inside the skull. Since the brain is confined within a rigid skull, even small increases in pressure can become life-threatening.
👉 Treatment focuses on reducing brain swelling, lowering intracranial pressure (ICP), and treating the underlying cause.
🚨 Why it is dangerous
Increased brain swelling can:
Reduce blood flow to the brain
Compress vital brain structures
Lead to seizures, coma, or death if untreated
