Mathematical modelling of blood-brain barrier failure and edema
Injuries such as traumatic brain injury and stroke can result in increased blood–brain barrier permeability. This increase may lead to water accumulation in the brain tissue resulting in vasogenic edema. Although the initial injury may be localised, the resulting edema causes mechanical damage and c...
