Brain swelling following a foot amputation due to gangrene could be attributed to several factors, including systemic inflammation and stress responses triggered by the severe infection and subsequent surgery. The body may react to the trauma and infection with an inflammatory process that can affect the brain. Additionally, pain, blood loss, and potential complications such as sepsis can contribute to cerebral edema. It is essential to monitor for these complications in patients undergoing major surgeries, particularly in the context of severe infections.
