This article in unreadable due to all the terms used. It's meant to be the free encyclopedia for everyone. Not just doctors! 220.253.117.244 (talk) 07:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Not doctors at all, I should think! I'd be pretty concerned if a surgeon operating on me were using Wikipedia as a knowledge base for his medical terms. Tomalak Geret&#39;kal (talk) 19:08, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Formatting issues
I created the formatting currently shown on the page. Admittedly, it is non-standard Wikipedia formatting, but it works. I have just reverted an edit which destroys this formatting. As I have formatted the article, it shows the 4 types of cerebral edema -- clearly enumerated. Under vasogenic edema are three subcategories. There is some agreement about there being 4 types of cerebral edema (see the references I added in my 5-Oct-2008 edits), but I don't think that a complete list of vasogenic edema can be confidently asserted. The edit which I reverted only shows the subecatgories in slightly lower case. This formatting does not stand out as clearly to the reader showing that there are subcategories and that there are 4 types of cerebral edema.

I have no appetite for "revert wars" and I am not intending to start one. Please do not revert my edits without an attempt to address the problem I have raised. Please let us seek a workable solution to this rather than turn it into a "power struggle". I would hope that Wikipedia has the tools to achieve the formatting I have tried to achieve, and that a more knowedgable editor than I can be solicited to make the proper suggestions. --Ben Best (talk) 07:05, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Distinguish from hydrocephalus
Does this article need a hatnote stating "Not to be confused with hydrocephalus"? Or is there some overlap in the definitions of the two conditions? If so, how should the article be clarified? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 00:45, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Incomprehensible
Is there a version of this article that's been written in simple, comprehensible language for the layperson? (talk) 19:44, 29 May 2015

WikiProject Medicine
Hello, I am DocWalk and I am joined by my partner. We are starting as PGY1s in a US medical residency and we would like to work on this page for the Wiki Project Medicine initiative. We believe that this page needs to be updated to reflect more current research as well as expanded in many of its current sections. It is also written in a style that is above the level of reading for most typical people. We will be following the Wiki Project Medicine manual of style (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Medicine-related_articles) and will detail below the changes that we perceive are needed.

Introduction:
 * further elaboration on definition
 * outline article

Signs and Symptoms:
 * needs expansion based on current research
 * needs overhaul in terms of language

Causes:
 * Introduction statement (may include some pathophys/mechanism if available)
 * Consolidate types into causes and expand
 * risk factors/triggers

Diagnosis:
 * Focusing on imaging, biopsy results less likely to be included

Prevention:
 * Create if possible based on current research, may be redundant with causes

Treatment:
 * Needs expansion based on types
 * Update new pharmacological agents
 * Incorporate neurosurgical options

Outcomes/Prognosis:
 * Create section if possible

Epidemiology:
 * Difficult due to nature of disease, expand if possible

Multi-Media:
 * Throughout the article, we will try to put images/videos that are appropriate for the section and fair use

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime regarding the edits made on this page.

Cerebral edema → Brain edema – Reasons: 1. The word "cerebral" usually implies "cerebrum", and that would be confusing. 2. The first reference uses "Raised intracranial pressure and brain edema" from Handbook of Clinical Neurology, Elsevie. 3.
