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 dangerous brain tumors and hernias are?Doctor's answer:
A brain tumor has reappeared with a herniation in the brain. In this case, it is generally very dangerous. It may suddenly cause a recurrence of a life-threatening situation, especially the most common type of herniation, the foramen magnum herniation. Because if this occurs, once the respiratory center is compressed, it can suddenly lead to respiratory arrest. The patient will find it very difficult to live.
