Hello, good people. My neighbor suffers from brain swelling. I wonder whether there is another name for this condition. It is strange to me to call it “swelling”. I don’t know why. I would like to know whether another name exists. Thanks for your effort in replying my post. It means a lot to me.

Hi, there. I am sorry to hear for your neighbor. Brain swelling is accumulation of the water in interstitial (extracellular) space. It has indeed another name. It is called cerebral edema or oedema as British call it. There are several types. Those are: vasogenic, cytotoxic, hydrostatic, osmotic, interstitial and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE)! I hope everything will be all right. I wish you all the best. Bye!
