Intracranial hypertension syndrome

When the average cerebrospinal fluid pressure measured in the lateral position exceeds 1.96kPa (equivalent to 200mmH2O), the intracranial pressure is increased. Intracranial hypertension syndrome (intracranial hypertension) is caused by a variety of reasons resulting in an increase in the total volume of the cranial contents, or a congenital malformation caused by the cranial cavity volume is small, the intracranial pressure increases and exceeds its compensation range, and then appears Common nervous system syndrome, also known as increased intracranial pressure. Increased intracranial pressure can cause a series of physiological disorders and pathological changes. If not diagnosed and treated in time, patients often die due to cerebral hernias.
