I am delighted to be able to hold and scrutinize this book, the 15th volume in the series of proceedings which covers the of fi cial symposia of the International Brain Edema Society. The first symposium was held in Vienna in 1965 under the auspices of Drs. Igor Klazo and Franz Seitelberger. The 15th symposium (Brain Edema 2011, The XVth International Symposium of Brain Edema and Cellular Injury), on which this volume is based, took place in Tokyo, on 22–24 October 2011.
