Brain swelling may be due to an increase in the cerebral blood volume (CBV) (engorgement or hyperemia), to an increase in the amount of extra or intracellular water (oedema) or to an extra mass.KeywordsCerebral Blood FlowHead InjuryBrain OedemaSubdural HaematomaCerebral Blood VolumeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
