Scope note: Aumento de los líquidos intra o extracelulares en el tejido cerebral. El edema cerebral citotóxico (hinchazón debida al aumento del líquido intracelular) indica un trastorno del metabolismo celular, y se asocia comúnmente con lesiones hipóxicas o isquémicas (ver HIPOXIA CEREBRAL). El aumento del líquido extracelular puede ser producido por un aumento de la permeabilidad capilar cerebral (edema vasogénico), gradiente osmótico, bloqueo local en las vías de los líquidos intersticiales, o por obstrucción del flujo del LCR (es decir, HIDROCEFALIA obstructiva).

Scope note: Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).
