A natural history of ischemic cerebral edema was analyzed in 100 patients with occlusive cere-brovascular diseases admitted within one week of onset, with serial computed tomography (CT) and angiograms. Cerebral edema was defined as a low-density area with mass sign on CT. A total of 446 studies of CT were performed. In 40 patients with major completed stroke admitted 24 hours of onset, a total of 73 studies of CT were taken with-in 48 hours of onset, and a timing of appearance of cerebral edema was analized. Patients were allocated to two groups according to the findings on angiograms; 68 patients who showed occlusive lesions on sequential angiograms (the group of no-recanalization), and 32 patients who showed re-opening of occluded vessels on the first or sequen-tial angiograms (the group of no-recanalization).

In the group of no-recanalization a low-density area gradually appeared between 6 and 24 hours of onset A. mass sign reached its peak on the 3rd day with a peak incidence of 56%, and midline shift was present in 30% of the cases. It was re-solved within 2 weeks in most cases. In the group of recanalization, a low density area appeared after 4 hours and rapidly increase after 6 hours.All patients had a low-density area at 12 hours of onset. A mass sign progressed until the 6th day with a peak incidence of 82%, and midline shift was present in 50% of the cases. The duration of mass sign was longer than that in the group of no-recanalization.

These results suggest that the permissible dura-tion of ischemia is considered to be within 6 ho-urs of onset in profound ischemia. After 6 hours, ischemic tissue damage may not be reversible by the revascularization, even if CT shows no chan-ge during ischemia. An abrupt revascularization may not contribute to the recovery of brain da-mage, but accelerate the ischemic cerebral edema.
