Patient's question:
Just yesterday, I suddenly fainted at home. My wife called my children to take me to the hospital. I haven't woken up for long yet. Listening to the nurse telling my son outside that this fainting and coma were caused by increased intracranial pressure. I would like to ask the doctor, what does increased intracranial pressure mean?Doctor's answer:
Generally caused by increased intracranial pressure, primarily due to brain edema, it is usually caused by intracranial space-occupying lesions or by cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, in such cases, we must promptly go to the top three hospitals to see a doctor for brain surgery, conduct a CT scan of the skull, and confirm the cause of the increased intracranial pressure. After specific examinations, timely symptomatic treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition and causing other complications.
