pilocarpine and Brain Edema

pilocarpine has been researched along with Brain Edema in 9 studies

Pilocarpine: A slowly hydrolyzed muscarinic agonist with no nicotinic effects. Pilocarpine is used as a miotic and in the treatment of glaucoma.
(+)-pilocarpine : The (+)-enantiomer of pilocarpine.

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)

( Jo, SM; Kang, TC; Kim, DS; Kim, JE; Kim, MJ; Ryu, HJ; Yeo, SI, 2010)
"Brain edema was assessed by means of magnetic resonance imaging (T2 relaxometry) and hippocampal volumetry was used as a marker of neuronal injury."5.40Dexamethasone exacerbates cerebral edema and brain injury following lithium-pilocarpine induced status epilepticus.

( Chun, KP; Duffy, BA; Lythgoe, MF; Ma, D; Scott, RC, 2014)
"Rats were observed for seizure activity for 2 h, survivors were killed 24 h later and edema was measured in samples from parietal and piriform cortices, dorsal thalmus, and hippocampus."1.28Effect of LiCl pretreatment on cholinomimetic-induced seizures and seizure-induced brain edema in rats.
