What causes intracranial effusion?

Most intracranial effusions are due to trauma to the head, especially severe brain injuries, and are more likely to occur in older people.

Most are caused by cerebral hemorrhage.

It's cerebrospinal fluid, and what doesn't come down is intracranial pressure.

The human brain is not a solid thing, with pipes and cavities in it, which are what we call ventricles and water pipes. Among them is cerebrospinal fluid, which is secreted by something called choroid plexus in the brain, which is roughly similar to the mechanism of saliva secretion from the mouth. This cerebrospinal fluid flows through the duct system, acting as a communication connection and nutrition.

Your friend is suffering from a blockage in the duct system in the brain, which causes the cerebrospinal fluid to circulate poorly and is not affected, resulting in an increase in intracranial pressure due to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid. It is recommended to do a CT examination of the brain to see if there is a big problem.

If there is effusion in the brain, it is likely to cause inflammation of the brain due to lesions, and after the effusion, you can choose drugs to carry out **, if the feeling is more serious, you can also carry out the method of artificial extraction, and there is to remove the effusion in time, so that you can also avoid other diseases of the brain. Most of these diseases are caused by trauma.

The main side file of this disease requires surgery**, which can be divided into 3 categories: (1) Xianqiqing surgery to remove the cause of obstruction; (2) surgery to reduce cerebrospinal fluid secretion; (3) Cerebrospinal fluid shunt.

2.In patients with significant intracranial hypertension before surgery, intracranial hypertension can be lowered with pre-deaning water**. Correction of cerebral edema and reduction of intracranial pressure are based on 20 (percent) mannitol, furosemide, dexamethasone, and even human albumin.

3.Symptomatic, infection prevention, nerve nutrition, etc.

Hydrocephalus is a very serious and scary brain disorder that often occurs in newborns. If a newborn accidentally develops hydrocephalus, it will bring a lot of pain and injury, and there may be sequelae later. Knowing the symptoms of hydrocephalus can be timely** to avoid delays**.

Let's take a look at the symptoms of hydrocephalus.

1.When hydrocephalus occurs, the patient's head circumference increases, and the head is significantly enlarged. Many newborns feel that the head position is significantly larger at birth, much larger than the head circumference of normal newborns, so special attention should be paid at this time.

If it continues to develop, it can lead to an imbalance in the head and body and a top-heavy appearance.

3.Hydrocephalus can cause headache and vomiting, mainly due to high intracranial pressure. Severely elevated intracranial pressure can also lead to vision loss and even blindness.

In this way, the child will grow slowly, and there will be spastic paralysis and dementia symptoms, which will seriously affect the healthy development of the baby and need to be immediately ** to avoid sequelae.

1.Hydrocephalus can be treated with medications**. The doctor usually determines the severity of the patient's condition after the examination and makes a plan.

In patients with mild, early-stage hydrocephalus, medications** can reduce cerebrospinal fluid secretion and help drain water. Mannitol and acetazolamides** are effective.

2.If the patient's intracranial pressure is too high, there is no response to general medications. For patients with severe hydrocephalus, surgery is required**. During the operation, the main thing is to relieve the obstruction, and the effect is the best. In addition, cerebrospinal fluid shunts can be used to improve hydrocephalus symptoms.

The main symptoms are increased intracranial pressure: headache, vomiting, and optic nerve edema. There is also an increase in head circumference, increased blood pressure, a slowed pulse, breathing disturbances, confusion, and more.

Symptoms of cerebral effusion, patients will experience dizziness, headache, nausea and vomiting, etc., and in severe cases, it will lead to partial hemiplegia due to speech impairment.

Analysis: Suggestions:

Hydrocephalus is a phenomenon of excessive cerebrospinal fluid production or obstruction of absorption circulation, resulting in excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles and subarachnoid space, which mostly occurs in children, and the causes are many, with congenital malformations such as midbrain aqueduct stenosis and occlusion, cerebellar tonsillar herniation and fourth ventricular middle or lateral foramen atresia as the main ones**. Acquired lesions such as intracranial infection, hemorrhage, intracranial tumors, and trauma may also be seen.

1.Progressive abnormalities in the skull usually appear weeks or months after birth, but gradually after one and a half years. The skull is enlarged and the face is relatively small, the superficial veins of the scalp are distended, the fontanelle is enlarged, the cranial suture is opened, and the percussion is "broken jar sound".

2.Neurological impairment: binocular upward vision cannot show a "sunset sign", mental retardation, and spastic paralysis of the limbs.

3.Manifestations of increased intracranial pressure: recurrent vomiting, head scratching, crying, and even drowsiness.

Hydrocephalus is generally resolved by placement of ventriculoperitoneal shunts, subdural effusions are generally resolved by short-term external drainage by drilling catheters, and subdural peritoneal shunts are also placed for some difficult cases.

It should be cerebrospinal fluid. The English name is cerebrol-spinal fluid, referred to as CSF. Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by choroid plexus tissue in the lateral ventricles.

It flows through the lateral ventricles, three ventricles, and four ventricles, and permeates the surface of the brain and spinal cord, protecting the brain and spinal cord and transporting metabolites. Excessive production of cerebrospinal fluid or obstruction of circulatory pathways can lead to increased intracranial pressure.

Generally speaking, cerebral effusion should be called "hydrocephalus", which is a disease in which the ventricular system is enlarged and the cerebrospinal fluid is excessive.

You'd better be more detailed, are you asking about nouns or illnesses? Cerebrospinal fluid refers to: colorless transparent fluid in the ventricles, subarachnoid space and spinal canal**; Cerebral effusion refers to the leakage of tissue fluid from the brain due to lesions, inflammation, and abnormal vascular permeability, also known as hydrocephalus.

1. Cerebrospinal fluid is a colorless and transparent liquid, which fills the ventricles, subarachnoid space and spinal canal. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced by the choroid plexus in the ventricles and is slightly viscous in nature similar to plasma and lymphatic fluid.

2. Cerebral effusion refers to hydrocephalus, which is the expansion of the ventricles and subarachnoid space secondary to the increase of cerebrospinal fluid, and is a common symptom in clinical practice.

3. The concepts and meanings of the two are completely different and should not be confused.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a fluid that circulates normally in the brain, and occupitis is a fluid that is stagnant and cannot be metabolized in secondary encephalopathy.

It is cerebrospinal fluid, which refers to the fluid circulating in the ventricles and subarachnoid space. It has a buffering and excretory effect on the brain and spinal cord.

If the ventricles are enlarged, it may be that the cerebrospinal fluid circulates poorly, called hydrocephalus.

It seems that the questioner did not know which word to use, so the correct way to write it is: cerebrospinal fluid.
