Volumetric Measurements of Cytotoxic and Vasogenic Edema Following Traumatic Brain Injury Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (P7.156)

CONCLUSIONS: While edema over the first week after TBI is primarily vasogenic, cytotoxic edema makes a significant contribution, as well. Cytotoxic edema peaks around 3-4 days post-injury, while vasogenic edema peaks around 6-7 days post-injury. This data may be informative for the design of clinical trials of drugs targeting post-traumatic edema.
