Risk factors for perianeurysmal vasogenic oedema (pavo) following embolization therapy: literature review
AbstractPerianeurysmal vasogenic oedema (PAVO) is a rare complication associated post–embolisation of intracranial aneurysms. The prevalence, risk...

Collision tumours: a meningioma and not oedema, but an oligodendroglioma
BackgroundIntracranial collision tumours represent a very rare entity. We hereby report a case involving the coexistence of a meningioma and an...

MRI of cerebral oedema in ischaemic stroke and its current use in routine clinical practice
Currently, with the knowledge of the role of collateral circulation in the development of cerebral ischaemia, traditional therapeutic windows are...

Alterations in brain fluid physiology during the early stages of development of ischaemic oedema
Oedema occurs when higher than normal amounts of solutes and water accumulate in tissues. In brain parenchymal tissue, vasogenic oedema arises from...

Increased volume of cerebral oedema is associated with risk of acute seizure activity and adverse neurological outcomes in encephalitis – regional and volumetric analysis in a multi-centre cohort
BackgroundSeizures can occur unpredictably in patients with acute encephalitis syndrome (AES), and many suffer from poor long-term neurological...
