What causes increased intracranial pressure?

This is due to diet, work and rest, physical, genetic, and work. So when this happens to us, we must go to the hospital**.

It may be sick, such as a cerebral hemorrhage, a lesion, a cerebral infarction, or it may be caused by a violent impact.

Excessive stress, external injury, mental stress, and malnutrition can lead to increased intracranial pressure.

Elevated intracranial pressure: Causes of increased intracranial pressure.

1. Congenital hydrocephalus Common congenital hydrocephalus in infants and young children, which may be related to cerebrospinal fluid secretion and absorption dysfunction. Obstructive hydrocephalus in infants and young children is seen in congenital malformations, such as midbrain aqueduct Pei Qichun development malformation, congenital cerebral extension and lower tonsillar herniation malformation, apostatriate tetraventricular atresia, cerebral hypoplasia hydrocephalus, etc. 2. Acquired hydrocephalus (1) Obstructive hydrocephalus Obstruction of the interventricular foramen, the third ventricle, the midbrain aqueduct, the fourth ventricle, the median foramen, and the cisterna oblongata oblongata caused by various reasons.

2) Communicating hydrocephalus: Bead omentum adhesion caused by various reasons, traumatic or spontaneous subbead hemorrhage and hydrocephalus after meningitis, etc. (3) Cerebrospinal fluid absorption disorders, compression or obstruction of various venous sinuses, otogenic hydrocephalus, etc. (4) Excessive secretion of cerebrospinal fluid, such as choroid plexus ** tumor, etc.

5) Blood-brain barrier destruction After the blood-brain barrier is destroyed due to various reasons, the exudation of interstitial fluid increases. Also known as benign intracranial hypertension syndrome. It can be caused by intravenous resistance to sinus obstruction, endocrine disorders, hematologic diseases, VIT hypertrophy, drug reactions and metabolic diseases.

⑴.Age In infants and children, cranial sutures that are not closed or not firmly fused, and increased intracranial pressure can cause cranial sutures to dehisce and correspondingly increase the volume of the cranial cavity, thereby slowing or prolonging the progression of the disease. In the elderly, the course of the disease is longer due to the increase in the compensatory space in the skull due to cerebral atrophy.

Expansion rate of the lesion When the lesion is a space-occupying lesion, with the slow growth of the lesion, it can be a long-term absence of symptoms of intracranial hypertension, once due to the dysfunction of intracranial pressure compensation, the disease will progress rapidly, often in a short period of time intracranial hypertensive crisis or brain herniation.

Lesion site Mass lesions in the midline of the brain or posterior fossa can cause obstructive hydrocephalus because the lesion tends to block the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway and cause obstructive hydrocephalus, so the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure can appear early and be severe. Mass lesions near the intracranial large venous sinuses can compress the venous sinuses at an early stage, causing intracranial venous blood reflux or cerebrospinal fluid absorption, so that the symptoms of intracranial hypertension can also appear early.

Degree of cerebral edema Cerebral parasitic disease, brain abscess, cerebral tuberculoma, cerebral granuloma, etc., can be accompanied by obvious cerebral edema due to inflammatory reactions, so symptoms of increased intracranial pressure can occur in the early stage.

Systemic diseases such as uremia, hepatic coma, toxemia, pulmonary infection, and acid-base imbalance can all cause secondary cerebral edema and increase intracranial pressure. High fever tends to exacerbate the degree of increased intracranial pressure.

The most serious consequence is death from brain herniation.

Hope it helps.

Poisoning, hypoxia, trauma, infection, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus, cerebral infarction, and intracranial mass lesions are common causes, and the most dangerous symptom of increased intracranial pressure is cerebral herniation due to uneven pressure.

Hello! Common causes of increased intracranial pressure are:1

Cerebral hemorrhage caused by head injury, cerebrovascular malformation, hypertension, etcIntracranial mass lesions (tumors, hematomas, cysts, etc.)3Intracranial inflammation such as encephalitis and meningitis can also cause4

Traumatic head surgery.

Suggestion: High intracranial pressure is called when the pressure exerted by the cranial cavity contents on the cranial cavity wall is greater. There are many causes of intracranial hypertension, the common ones are (1) increased brain volume

Intracranial edema caused by various causes, such as encephalitis and meningitis. (2) Increase of intracranial blood volume: the accumulation of carbon dioxide caused by various reasons such as respiratory failure causes cerebral blood vessels to dilate and increase cerebral blood flow rapidly.

3) Increased cerebrospinal fluid volume: cerebrospinal fluid hypersecretion or malabsorption; Obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid circulation due to various causes. (4) Intracranial space-occupying lesions:

A certain space in the cranial cavity is occupied by focal lesions, such as intracranial hemorrhage or hematoma due to spontaneous or head injury; Intracranial primary and metastatic tumors, intracranial abscesses, granulomas, various parasites, etc. (5) Physiological regulation dysfunction: systemic diseases such as sepsis, ischemia, and hypoxia have disorders in the physiological regulation mechanism of intracranial pressure, which can increase intracranial pressure.

There are many pain-sensitive structures in the skull, such as dura mater, large blood vessels, and cranial nerves, and when intracranial pressure increases, intracranial blood vessels and meninges are displaced and pulled to cause high intracranial pressure pain.
