Abstract
The subject of brain edema (BE) has been burdened for many years by confusion with regard to understanding the essential pathophysiological aspects of the process. Various classifications were based mainly either on some gross characteristics, such as Reichardt’s [29] Hirnödem v. Hirnschwellung, or on etiological factors involved (e.g. traumatic, inflammatory, necrotic, hemorrhagic, etc.), which contributed only some limited descriptive value.
