Cerebral edema is a dangerous condition where the water content within brain tissue rises, causing the pressure to rise inside the skull. Unlike swelling in other parts of the body, where there is room for extra fluid, for example a sprained ankle, the brain is protected by the hard, inflexible skull with very little room to accommodate expansion.

Brain swelling (edema) increases pressure inside the skull which pushes back against the brain itself. This is known as intracranial pressure or ICP. If the pressure is not relieved, the brain’s oxygen supply can be cut off as blood vessels are literally squeezed shut. Neuron cell death (apoptosis) begins after just four minutes of oxygen deprivation. When cerebral edema develops, doctors sometimes perform a craniotomy – a procedure in which the skull is vented or ported to relieve the pressure inside it.
