A magnetic resonance imaging study of experimental cerebral edema and its response to dexamethasone.
Vasogenic edema following cortical freezing, and its response to dexamethasone were studied in cats. The time course of the edema shown by MRI was the same as that observed by invasive techniques. Dexamethasone retards early edema formation and may reduce its total volume, but does not accelerate its disappearance.
