The anti-edema effect of edaravone, a free radical scavenger, was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging in six patients with extensive hemispheric ischemic stroke. T(2) relaxation time in the infarct core, the boundary zone of the infarct, and the noninfarcted hemisphere were calculated, and T(2) mapping was performed before and after edaravone administration. Edaravone administration significantly decreased the mean T(2) relaxation time in the boundary zone of the infarct from 121.5 +/- 9.2 (mean +/- standard deviation) to 114.5 +/- 9.9 msec (p = 0.008), but not in the core from 142.3 +/- 13.4 to 142.2 +/- 18.5 msec (p = 0.97) or the noninfarcted hemisphere from 93.0 +/- 3.7 to 93.1 +/- 3.8 msec (p = 0.91). The T(2) subtraction map clearly demonstrated shortened T(2) relaxation time in the boundary zone of the infarct. The present results indicate that edaravone can salvage the boundary zone of the infarct and is a useful cytoprotective anti-edema agent.

D001929 Brain Edema Increased intracellular or extracellular fluid in brain tissue. Cytotoxic brain edema (swelling due to increased intracellular fluid) is indicative of a disturbance in cell metabolism, and is commonly associated with hypoxic or ischemic injuries (see HYPOXIA, BRAIN). An increase in extracellular fluid may be caused by increased brain capillary permeability (vasogenic edema), an osmotic gradient, local blockages in interstitial fluid pathways, or by obstruction of CSF flow (e.g., obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS).

D002545 Brain Ischemia Localized reduction of blood flow to brain tissue due to arterial obstruction or systemic hypoperfusion. This frequently occurs in conjunction with brain hypoxia (HYPOXIA, BRAIN). Prolonged ischemia is associated with BRAIN INFARCTION.
