In recent years much progress has been made in the field of
neurochemical monitoring for the acutelly injured brain. The
development of safe continuous microdialysis techniques coupled
with microanalytical methodology can generate semi-continuous time
profiles of the changes in numerous brain analytes such as lactate,
glucose, pyruvate, excitatory amino acids, structural amino acids,
indicators of free radical generation, cytokines, adenosine, and
neuroprotective drugs. Descriptive studies have shown profound,
prolonged, and severe abnormalities in many of the analytes
measured and the next phase is to determine the effects of
therapeutic interventions upon these parameters. This field of
research has contributed tremendously to our understanding of
pathomechanisms in acute human brain damage.

Brain edema is a simple phenomenon - an abnormal increase of brain
tissue volume by the increase of brain tissue water content.
However the etiology is not simple and relating to a wide variety
of neurological disorders including ischemia, trauma, tumor,
hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. It is still a major cause of death in
the neurological/neurosurgical ward. This volume is an up-to-date
report on progress in brain edema research, diagnosis and
treatment, including papers presented at the 12th International
Symposium on Brain Edema and Brain Tissue Injury in 2002. Major
topics include molecular biology and blood-brain barrier disorders,
ischemic and traumatic brain edema, imaging and diagnosis of brain
edema, treatment and radiation effect. Various papers in the
rapidly growing fields of neuroimaging and molecular medicine are
also included.

This book contains the papers delivered at the Fourth International
Symposium on Intracranial Pressure, held at Williamsburg, Virginia,
USA, June 10-14, 1979. Divided into 12 sessions, they reflect the
most recent developments in areas such as head injuries, pressure
volume studies, cerebrovascular complications, intracranial hemor
rhage, brain edema, systemic factors and infectious processes, data
recording and analysis, CSF formation and absorption, hydroce
phalus, clinical aspects of ICP monitoring, anesthesia and intra
cranial pressure, treatment with barbiturates and steroids, and os
motherapy. The book concludes with a summary of the present
state-of-the-art in the field as a whole by Dr. Langfitt. There
were two innovations at this Symposium. The first of these was
poster sessions, the second, breakfast seminars. This volume
contains all papers read plus all those presented as posters, and
for this reason contains more pages than the three previous
volumes. The organizers wish to thank the Advisory Committee for
the work done in paper selection and focus of the Conference.
Appreciation is also given to the Chairmen and Co-chairmen of the
sessions for the preparation of summary statements. Manuscript
preparation was performed by Ms. Lucille Browne, and gratitude is
expressed to her. The next Symposium, the Fifth International
Conference on ICP, will be held in Japan in 1982. We also wish to
acknowledge the technical help of Springer-Verlag and their
celerity in producing this volume. The Editors VII Contents Session

This volume is a compilation of papers presented at the Tenth
International Symposium on Brain Edema held on October 20-23, 1996,
in San Diego, California. This follows the sequence of meetings
that was initiated 31 years ago in the First International
Symposium held in Vienna. Subsequent symposiums were held in Mainz,
Montreal, Berlin, Groningen, Tokyo, Baltimore, Bern, and Tokyo CY
okohama). A considerable number of papers was chosen from over 100
papers that were received. The organizers wish to thank the
Advisory Committee for the excellent work done in selection of the
papers. We also wish to thank all the persons who contributed to
the success of the Tenth International Symposium, especially the
staff who worked behind the scenes. These papers were reviewed,
edited, approved or disapproved by the Editorial Board. Those
manuscripts that were felt not pertinent to this publication were
not accepted by the Editorial Board. Therefore, the excellent
quality of those that are in the book are a reflection of the
authors' dedication and work and that of those of the Editorial
Board in their review process. For the reader's convenience, the
papers are structured according to the various disease processes
which are associated with the primary topic: hypertension,
hydrocephalus, infection, ischemia, tumor, etc. We do hope that the
reader will enjoy the articles and that they will provide an
impetus and insight for future work.

Brain edema is found in a wide variety of clinical disorders
including stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, subarachnoid
haemorrhage, head injury, brain tumors and hydrocephalus. This
volume brings together clinical and basic scientists from all over
the world. Their expertise in the understanding of brain edema and
shifts in brain water compartments has led to a further significant
step in our understanding of those diseases characterized by brain
edema. This book has also drawn on the expertise of the
International Advisory Board of the Brain Edema Society, who have
carefully summarized each section, thus providing an easy-to-read
summary of the latest advances in each subject. The book is
therefore much more than a collection of papers: it represents a
critical appraisal and puts each paper into modern scientific
context. The greatest advances have come from the rapid development
of modern imaging techniques, especially with magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Imaging can now produce "water maps" and "metabolic
profiles" that bring brain metabolism and water content right into
every clinic with access to MRI. This book provides the background
knowledge to understand these pathophysiological changes.
