Intracranial pressure
Intracranial hypertension, intracranial hypertension, increased / elevated / intracranial / intracranial pressure - a condition in which the cerebrospinal fluid pressure circulating in the cerebral ventricular system is higher than normal. The correct pressure of this fluid is from 50 to 200 mm H20 (from 0.5 to 2.0 kPa).
EtiologyStates with intracranial hypertension include: meningitis traumatic brain swelling hydrocephalus Patogeneza
Intracranial hypertension occurs as a result of the development of additional pathological intracranial mass (tumor, inflammatory or otherwise), increased volume of intracellular or intracellular fluid (ie, cerebral edema), significant increase in blood volume in the brain (this is called swelling the brain is caused by the pathological expansion of the cerebral vessels) as well as the increase in the volume of the cerebrospinal fluid, or hydrocephalus. Spontaneous brain edema may occur in the course of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (formerly known as brain tumor). symptoms
