To date a few clinical methods give a certain hint as to the presence of brain edema and even its most probable localization; only one method, the recently developed computer tomography can be regarded as fairly reliable. However, as long as the pathogenesis of brain edema is not yet sufficiently elucidated and therapeutic methods are not developed either to prevent or remove intra-or extra-cellular edema distinctly and separately in experimental lesions, the lack of adequate technology for a refined diagnosis in the human is not urgent.
到目前为止，有几种临床方法能对脑水肿的存在甚至其最可能的部位给出一定提示；只有一种方法，即最近开发的计算机断层扫描，可被视为相当可靠。然而，只要脑水肿的发病机制尚未得到充分阐明，并且在实验性病变中尚未开发出能明确且分别预防或消除细胞内或细胞外水肿的治疗方法，那么在人类中缺乏用于精确诊断的足够技术就并非紧迫之事。
