hydralazine and Brain Edema

hydralazine has been researched along with Brain Edema in 6 studies

Hydralazine: A direct-acting vasodilator that is used as an antihypertensive agent.
hydralazine : The 1-hydrazino derivative of phthalazine; a direct-acting vasodilator that is used as an antihypertensive agent.

Brain Edema: Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS). (From Childs Nerv Syst 1992 Sep; 8(6):301-6)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We report a case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a 73-yr-old woman with a history of uncontrolled hypertension who had recently discontinued one of her antihypertensive drugs; such cases are rare but pose a diagnostic challenge given the nonspecific nature of the clinical presentation."1.39Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: 'a headache' on the AMU.
