INCREASED INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE, CERE BRAL EDEMA
... Increased intracranial pressure results from either localized or generalized cerebral edema. The types of cerebral edema are vasogenic, cytotoxic, or interstitial. Increased capillary permeability causes vasogenic edema; this occurs with brain tumor, abscess, trauma, and hemorrhage. The fluid is loc ...
