    n. Brain swelling due to increased volume of the extravascular compartment from the uptake of water in the gray and white matter. Wikipedia cerebral edema Cerebral edema is swelling of the brain which can occur as the result of a head injury, cardiac arrest or from the lack of proper altitude acclimatization Symptoms of cerebral edema include headaches , decreased level of consciousness, hallucinations , psychotic behaviour, memory loss and coma . If left untreated, it can lead to death. High Altitude Cerebral Edema (or HACE ) is a severe (usually fatal) form of altitude sickness . HACE is the result of swelling of brain tissue from fluid leakage. Symptoms can include headache, loss of coordination (ataxia), weakness, and decreasing levels of consciousness including disorientation, loss of memory, hallucinations, psychotic behavior, and coma. It generally occurs after a week or more at high altitude . Severe instances can lead to death if not treated quickly. Immediate descent is a necessary life-saving measure (2,000 - 4,000 feet). There are some medications (e.g.

    Health - At Altitude
    High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)
    High Altitude Cerebral Edema, shortened to HACE, is a potentially fatal form of AMS where the brain swells and stops functioning in the normal way. Once initiated, it can take serious hold in only a matter of hours, before most people even realise they are ill. Because of the speed at which this sets in it is vital for climbers to be aware of the signs. They include, in order of appearance:
    • Confusion Changes in behaviour Fatigue A 'drunken stagger,' named ataxia. The test for this, get the person to walk in a straight line without heavy boots or a backpack on flat ground. If they stumble, miss the line or fall over then treat them a HACE patient. Difficulty speaking Vomiting Hallucinations Blindness Paralysis of a limb Seizure Unconsciousness Total paralysis Coma
    Treatment is simple - immediate descent. Even if HACE starts at night descent must still be started immediately as any delay could prove to be fatal. This could be difficult because the person will be confused and staggering, and so will need people to assist them. Descent should be to the last point when the person woke up and felt well. This is likely to be the place where the person slept two nights ago because cases of HACE generally only develop when a person with mild symptoms of AMS proceed upwards. This should be at the least 500m. Once a lower place has been reached maximum rest is advised.
    Recovery is usually possible assuming the person has descended enough in a short space of time. The drunken stagger may linger for subsequent days, but if the symptoms eventually disappear then ascent can continue at a slower pace.

    Alternate Names : Altitude Anoxia, Altitude Sickness, High Altitude Cerebral Edema, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema, Mountain Sickness Definition Acute mountain sickness is an illness that can affect mountain climbers, hikers, skiers, or travelers who ascend too rapidly to high altitude (typically above 8,000 feet or 2,400 meters). This is especially for persons who normally reside at or near sea level.
    Respiratory System Reduced atmospheric pressure and a lower concentration of oxygen at high altitude are the causes of this illness. It affects the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart. Symptoms can range from mild to life-threatening.

    http://www.neurographics.org/Rovira/3.shtml
    Vol. 1, Article 2 Rovira, et al. CEREBRAL EDEMA IN HEPATIC FAILURE Different compounds occur in the circulation in increased concentrations when liver function is impaired and may contribute to hepatic encephalopathy, being ammonia probably the most important. Hyperammonemia induce accumulation of glutamine inside the astrocytes causing its swelling and subsequently an increase in the water content of the whole brain. This cerebral edema is a major cause of intracraneal hypertension and death in patients with fulminant hepatic failure ( Figure 3 ). Brain edema is only rarely a complication of chronic liver failure, although cerebral glutamine increases to a similar extent in both chronic and acute liver failure. The rarity of cerebral edema may be explained by a compensatory decrease of other osmolytes such as myoInositol and taurine ( Figure 4 ). This osmoregulatory mechanism protects the development of massive brain edema and explain the abscence of overt intracranial hypertension in chronic liver failure. It has been suggested that despite the osmoregulatory mechanism a low-grade astrocytic swelling exist in chronic hepatic failure that may be partially responsible to the development of hepatic encephalopathy. The purpose of this scientific exhibit is to show MR data from cirrhotic patients obtained before and after normalization of liver function (liver transplantation) that suppport the presence of a reversible widespread metabolic alteration in the white matter with a slight increase in brain water content. . We obtained MR data, including T1- and T2WI, magnetization transfer imaging and

    ABSTRACT Background Cerebral edema is an uncommon but devastating complication of diabetic ketoacidosis in children. Risk factors for this complication have not been clearly defined. Methods In this multicenter study, we identified 61 children who had been hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis within a 15-year period and in whom cerebral edema had developed. Two additional groups of children with diabetic ketoacidosis but without cerebral edema were also identified: 181 randomly selected children and 174 children matched to those in the cerebral-edema group with respect to age at presentation, onset of diabetes

    Introduction
    Every year thousands of people go climbing in the Rockies, trekking in the world famous Himalayas, and skiing in the Alps in search of the ultimate adrenaline rush. The explosion of recreational “extreme sports” such as snowboarding; mountain climbing and trekking; skateboarding; and mountain biking and the subsequent injuries sustained in these sports, have precipitated a need for further research in the extreme sport arena. It is estimated that during the year 1984, 34 million people, including travelers and indigenous populations, traversed terrain above 7,500 ft with numbers increasing each year thereafter. Of this group, 25% of those reaching elevations above 8,500 ft developed manifestations of high-altitude illness. The incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) is increasing due to modern society's ability to travel rapidly to high altitudes. Travelers need to be educated on the risk associated with high altitudes since as many as 5% of cases of AMS can develop life-threatening high altitude cerebral edema (HACE).

    Recognition and Treatment of Cerebral Edema Complicating Diabetic Ketoacidosis CPSP resource article published September 2000 Investigators : S. Muirhead, MD, E. Cummings, MD, and D. Daneman, MD Introduction Although early mortality is very low in children and teens with type 1 diabetes, DKA accounts for up to 80% of all deaths. In the largest CE case series (N=69), the outcome was death in 64%, severe disability in 13%, mild disability in 8.6% and intact survival in only 14.5%. Several case reports suggest that subclinical CE may be a common occurrence both before and during DKA treatment. Clinically significant edema may occasionally be present at the time of presentation of the child with DKA to the hospital, but CE generally develops 2 to 24 hours after initiation of DKA treatment. Risk factors for cerebral edema during DKA
    • There is increased representation of and those with new onset diabetes in reports of CE during DKA. There is no convincing evidence that initial acid-base status, glucose, electrolytes or effective osmolality are useful predictors of CE. Thus, all paediatric DKA patients should be presumed to be at risk, independent of initial biochemical parameters.

    • how many children with diabetic ketoacidosis develop cerebral edema ( incidence what happened to the children with cerebral edema (outcomes) whether any risk factors for cerebral edema could be found
    Cerebral edema, or brain swelling, can cause permanent neurological problems or even death. It is a rare but very dangerous complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) , and causes most of the deaths and lasting complications associated with DKA. DKA, in turn, is a common problem in children with diabetes. For many children, diabetes is not diagnosed until an episode of DKA takes the child to the emergency room. DKA can also occur if a child with diabetes does not take any or enough insulin When there is not enough insulin available to break down sugar in the blood, blood sugar levels rise. As an alternative supply of energy, the body starts breaking down fat, which produces

KEITH JACOBS, A 28-YEAR-OLD CARPENTER, IS ADMITTED TO YOUR MEDical/surgical unit at 1 a.m. after falling down the steps outside a bar. His admission diagnosis is rule out concussion. When he arrived at the emergency department, his blood alcohol level was 150 mg/dl. He has no significant medical history. At 7 a.m., the night nurse informs you that Mr. Jacobs has been neurologically stable. When she awakened him at 4 a.m. to check his neurologic status, she didn't examine his pupils because he acted belligerently and refused to let her touch him. But he knew where he was and was moving all extremities. He followed commands, although she had to repeat a few of them. Given his high blood alcohol level, she wasn't surprised by his behavior.
