Salt Lake City Edema Attorneys
Seeking the Relief You Deserve for Your Brain Injury
One of the most serious consequences of severe head trauma, which sometimes occurs in car and trucking accidents, falls on dangerous property or other catastrophic accidents, is the occurrence or risk of brain swelling. In medical terms, brain swelling due to the accumulation of fluid is called edema. Although brain edema is not always obvious and can be difficult to diagnose, the risks associated with the intracranial pressure that edema creates should be well known to medical professionals. Constant monitoring of an edema patient—with constant readiness to perform surgery if necessary—is essential.
