A member asked:
Does cerebral edema from malignant hypertension always show up on ct scan? or is it often a clinical diagnosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malignant HTN: is generally a clinical diagnosis. It doesn't necessarily imply any cerebral edema, unless it is complicated by acute hypertensive encephalopathy, in which case there will be cerebral edema
