pentoxifylline and Brain Edema

pentoxifylline has been researched along with Brain Edema in 10 studies

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)

"Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a methylxanthine derivative clinically proven to improve perfusion in the peripheral microcirculation and has been shown to have neuroprotective effects in brain trauma and global cerebral ischemia in experimental animal models."5.43Pentoxifylline Alleviates Early Brain Injury in a Rat Model of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. ( Aslan, M; Demır, N; Dilmac, S; Dogan, O; Goksu, E; Kirac, E; Konuk, E; Tanrıover, G; Ulker, P, 2016)
"Cerebral edema is the most common cause of neurological deterioration and mortality during acute ischemic stroke."5.37Pentoxifylline attenuates TNF-α protein levels and brain edema following temporary focal cerebral ischemia in rats. ( Akhavan, MM; Mojarrad, S; Rashidy-Pour, A; Vakili, A, 2011)
"Pentoxifylline is a drug known to increase red cell deformability, thus allowing the 7- to 8-micrometers diameter red cell to flow through the narrowest capillaries of 3-5 micrometers diameter."2.36Pentoxifylline and cerebrovascular diseases. ( George, C; Marcel, GA, 1983)
