Seminars in Neurology, 2011
Encephalopathy due to reversible cerebral edema is an important cause of neurologic morbidity accompanying many disorders. Although controversy remains concerning the pathophysiologic trigger, the mechanism of this disorder ultimately depends on failure of the blood-brain barrier to maintain the compartmentalization of intravascular fluid. This failure
