A Biomechanical Model of Tumor-induced Intracranial Pressure and Edema in Brain Tissue
Abstract Brain tumor growth and tumor-induced edema result in increased intracranial pressure (ICP), which, in turn, is responsible for conditions as benign as headaches and vomiting, or as severe as seizures, neurological damage, or even death. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that tracking ICP dynamics may offer improved prognostic potential …
