Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Could you please tell me how many symptoms of a brain hernia there are?Doctor's answer:
Cerebrovascular diseases are one of the common diseases among middle-aged and elderly people. Once a cerebrovascular disease occurs, it is very likely to lead to a state of coma, especially intracerebral hemorrhage, which can easily cause an increase in intracranial pressure. At this time, the brain tissue may be squeezed into the epidural space or the physiological foramina of the skull where the pressure is lower. This condition can lead to a brain herniation. Once a patient exhibits symptoms of brain herniation, their vital signs will become chaotic, manifesting as changes in blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and body temperature. In severe cases, blood pressure may fluctuate sharply, with rapid and irregular heartbeats, and the patient's complexion may turn flushed.
