ICD-10 code G93. 6 for Cerebral edema is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Cerebral edema occurs due to an increase in brain fluid content and can be divided into three forms: cytotoxic, vasogenic and interstitial, or a combination (Table II).
Cerebral edema can result from a variety of derangements. The major types include vasogenic, cellular, osmotic, and interstitial.

What is cerebral edema? Cerebral edema is also known as brain swelling. It's a life-threatening condition that causes fluid to develop in the brain. This fluid increases the pressure inside of the skull — more commonly referred to as intracranial pressure (ICP).
Cerebral oedema can be classified as the tangible swelling produced by expansion of the interstitial fluid volume. Hydrocephalus can be succinctly described as the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain which ultimately leads to oedema within specific sites of parenchymal tissue.
Vasogenic cerebral edema refers to a type of cerebral edema in which the blood brain barrier (BBB) is disrupted (cf. cytotoxic cerebral edema, where the blood-brain barrier remains intact). It is an extracellular edema which mainly affects the white matter via leakage of fluid from capillaries.
Common exams and tests used in the diagnosis include:Head and neck exam.Neurologic exam.CT scan of the head to identify the extent and location of the swelling.MRI of the head to identify the extent and location of the swelling.Blood tests to check for causes of the swelling.Lumbar puncture.
Under pathological conditions, such as ischemic stroke, the dysfunction of the BBB results in increased paracellular permeability, directly contributing to the extravasation of blood components into the brain and causing cerebral vasogenic edema.
Edema is swelling of soft tissues due to increased interstitial fluid. The fluid is predominantly water, but protein and cell-rich fluid can accumulate if there is infection or lymphatic obstruction. Edema may be generalized or local (eg, limited to a single extremity or part of an extremity).
Definition: A disorder characterized by swelling due to excessive fluid accumulation at a specific anatomic site. Synonyms (terms occurring on more labels are shown first): localized edema, localised oedema, localized swelling. More information: PubMed search and possibly Wikipedia.

Mannitol and hypertonic saline (HS) are the most commonly used osmotic agents. The relative safety and efficacy of HS and mannitol in the treatment of cerebral edema and reduction of enhanced ICP have been demonstrated in the past decades.
Currently available to control brain swelling include osmotic agents (with emphasis on mannitol and hypertonic saline solutions), corticosteroids, hyperventilation, sedation (propofol, barbiturates), neuromuscular paralysis, hypothermia, and surgical interventions.
Meningiomas and Brain Edema It was found that 50% of the PTBE, as denoted by hypodensity on CT, resolved within 4 days, with 90% resolution in 14 days.
It can progress to a coma or death within 24 hours if not treated.
Clinical Information. (eh-dee-ma) swelling caused by excess fluid in body tissues. Abnormal fluid accumulation in tissues or body cavities. Most cases of edema are present under the skin in subcutaneous tissue. Accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells or intercellular tissues.
Accumulation of an excessive amount of watery fluid in cells or intercellular tissues. Edema means swelling caused by fluid in your body's tissues. It usually occurs in the feet, ankles and legs, but it can involve your entire body. Causes of edema include.
