CEREBRAL EDEMA produced by localized cortical freezing has become an experimental modus operandi since the introduction of an easily reproducible technique by Hass and Taylor in 1948. 1 This technique was refined subsequently. 2-4 A review of the literature shows that, regardless of freezing agents and sites of application, the results obtained from different animal species are essentially the same, namely, a focal hemorrhagic lesion in the cerebral cortex accompanied by wide-spread edema in the white matter of the damaged hemisphere. The details of pathological changes studied by histological, chemical, and tracer methods were previously reported by one of us. 5 In contrast to the extensive light microscopic investigation of cold-induced edema, the ultrastructural changes have been studied only by Torack et al. 6 These authors limited their electron microscopic examination to the cerebral cortex adjacent to the lesion. For this reason their observations cannot be extended to
