Figure 5. Vasogenic edema from arterial and venous causes.

Figure 5

A. Baseline state with normal blood pressure, venous pressure, and ICP.

B. Dysregulated cerebral hyperemia with hypertension, produces peri-arteriolar tissue vasogenic edema with elevated ICP

C. Increased venous pressure, at possible points noted by an asterisk, produces peri-venular tissue vasogenic edema with elevated ICP.

Note the depiction of similar levels of elevated ICP from distinctly different causes of vasogenic edema.

ICP, intracranial pressure
