A member asked:
How long can cerebral edema or brain swelling can take to cure. my friend is making very slow progress, she 50% conscious in a month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Compare with bruise: The acute lesion swells over 24-36 hrs and resolves slowly over 2-3 weeks. However, resolution implies healing, and with encephalitis the process may not totally be stable, with ongoing inflammation mixed with areas of healing. May be looking at several months to resolve edema and perhaps up to 18 months for maximal improvement.
