Follow-up study with serial computed tomography before and after surgery were presented. Based on a review of the literature, a possible causal mechanism is suggested : 1) The cerebrospinal fluid diffuses into the white matter through the surgically damged ependyma and causes severe postoperative edema ; and 2) surgical blockade of the flow of cerebral interstitial fluid to drain into the fenestrated vessels of the choroid plexux and other periventricular areas causes severe postoperative edema., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1988, 33(1-4), p.32-37}, pages = {32--37}, title = {Brain Edema after Surgery of Lateral Ventricle Tumors}, volume = {33}, year = {1988} }
