Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me how many symptoms of a brain hernia there are?Doctor's answer:
Cerebrovascular diseases are common among middle-aged and elderly people. Once they occur, they can lead to a state of coma, especially intracerebral hemorrhage, which easily causes increased intracranial pressure. In this case, brain tissue may be squeezed into the smaller spaces of the dura mater or the physiological foramina of the skull. This condition can lead to a brain herniation. If 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 irregular and rapid or slow pulse rates, and the patient's complexion may turn flushed.
