abstract = {Following prolonged exposure to hypoxic conditions, for
example, due to ascent to high altitude, stroke, or
traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema can develop. The
exact nature and genesis of hypoxia-induced edema in healthy
individuals remain unresolved. We examined the effects of
prolonged, normobaric hypoxia, induced by 16 h of exposure
to simulated high altitude, on healthy brains using proton,
dynamic contrast enhanced, and sodium MRI. This dual
approach allowed us to directly measure key factors in the
development of hypoxia-induced brain edema: (1) Sodium
signals as a surrogate of the distribution of electrolytes
within the cerebral tissue and (2) Ktrans as a marker of
blood-brain-barrier integrity. The measurements point toward
an accumulation of sodium ions in extra- but not in
intracellular space in combination with an intact
endothelium. Both findings in combination are indicative of
ionic extracellular edema, a subtype of cerebral edema that
was only recently specified as an intermittent, yet distinct
stage between cytotoxic and vasogenic edemas. In sum, here a
combination of imaging techniques demonstrates the
development of ionic edemas following prolonged normobaric
hypoxia in agreement with cascadic models of edema
formation.},
