How is intracranial pressure heighten caused?

summary

When the average CSF pressure of adults in lateral position exceeds 1.96kpa (equivalent to 200mmh2o), intracranial pressure increases. Intracranial hypertension syndrome (IHS) is caused by a variety of reasons to increase the total volume of intracranial volume, or by congenital malformation caused by small cranial cavity volume, intracranial pressure increased and beyond its compensatory range, to share my experience with you.

How is intracranial pressure heighten caused?

1. Brain injury, such as brain contusion and laceration, intracranial hematoma, surgical trauma, extensive skull fracture, craniocerebral firearm injury, traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc. 2. Intracranial space occupying lesions, including various cancers, abscesses, hematomas, granulomas, cysts, brain parasites, etc. This is the most common cause of increased intracranial pressure. 3. Cerebrovascular diseases, common diseases are cerebral infarction, hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, hypertensive encephalopathy, etc.

4. Intracranial inflammation, such as encephalitis, meningitis, sepsis, etc. 5. Cerebral hypoxia, such as respiratory obstruction, asphyxia, cardiac arrest, carbon monoxide poisoning and hypoxic encephalopathy caused by various diseases. 6. Poisoning and metabolic disorders, such as hepatic encephalopathy, acidosis, lead poisoning, acute water poisoning and hypoglycemia. 7. Pseudoencephaloma syndrome is also known as benign intracranial hypertension.

8. Congenital abnormalities, such as developmental malformation of aqueduct, skull base depression and congenital cerebellar tonsillar hernia, can cause obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid return, resulting in secondary hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension; Due to the narrow cranial cavity, the normal development of the brain is limited, and intracranial pressure is often increased.

matters needing attention

Disturbance of consciousness, vision loss, diplopia and convulsion; Emotional instability, easy to anger or cry, or apathy, slow reaction, slow movement and thinking, etc. are not only the symptoms of intracranial hypertension, but also the complications.
