What Is The Meaning Of Mild Diffuse Cerebral Edema?
Hello doctor My daughter had siezers first time. Doctir considers it as epilepsy and treated. She went for ct scan. Here is the impression of it. Mild diffuse cerebral edema. She is now under valparin 300mg twice a day. Let me know what does it mean

Mild cerebral edema is swelling of the brain tissue. This can happen from various reasons. In your daughter's case this could be due to Seizures. Most of the time this improves on its own, depending on the cause. As long she is improving with no persistent drowsiness or irritability, I would not worry too much. Make sure she is taking her Valparin regularly and also reviewed by her doctor so her seizures are under control.
