Steroids<br />

Glucocorticoids are very effective in ameliorating the vasogenic<br />

edema that accompanies tumors, inflammatory conditions, and<br />

other disorders associated with increased<br />

permeability of the blood-brain barrier, including surgical<br />

manipulation.<br />

detrimental in patients with brain<br />

ischemia.<br />
