Abstract
Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery induces a local decrease in percentage of tissue dry weight in rabbit brain, associated with flux of sodium and potassium in reciprocal directions. Cortical swelling occurs also in remote non-ischaemic areas. Previous transposition of the omentum majus to the brain minimizes the onset of oedema consequent on occlusion of a major cerebral artery. Increasing experimental evidence points to the role of omental transposition in providing an effective source of collateral circulation, thus strongly affecting the threshold for infarction.Entities:
