Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebral edema (defined as an increase in the water content of central nervous system [CNS] cells or interstitium) and accompanying intracranial hypertension have long been recognized as important contributors to morbidity and mortality after traumatic brain injury (TBI) [1–13].
Detailed explanation-2: -The most common causes of TBI include falls, vehicle crashes, being hit with or crashing into an object, and assaults. The initial injury can cause brain tissue to swell. In addition, broken pieces of bone can rupture blood vessels in any part of the head. The body’s response to the injury may also increase swelling.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cerebral edema is also known as brain swelling. It’s a life-threatening condition that causes fluid to develop in the brain. This fluid increases the pressure inside of the skull-more commonly referred to as intracranial pressure (ICP).
