What symptom is brain oedema after craniotomy

summary

When craniotomy is needed due to brain diseases, it is necessary to prevent brain edema. The harm of brain edema is very big, serious and even endanger the lives of patients. Brain edema will have some obvious symptoms. Understanding these symptoms is conducive to better timely treatment. Let's take a look.

What symptom is brain oedema after craniotomy

First of all, when there is brain edema, there will be an increase in head circumference, which is more obvious. There will be obvious swelling of the head and face, and patients will also have obvious feelings, such as pain, dizziness, coma and even shock.

Secondly, when there is brain edema, there will be certain intracranial hypertension. With the obvious increase of intracranial hypertension, patients will have headache, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms, which will be manifested as emotional tension, irritability, even aspiration, eye tremor and other symptoms, such as insufficient coordination of limbs or paralysis.

In addition, patients will have cerebral cortex atrophy, which is very harmful to patients, and even this harm is irreversible, which brings serious threat to patients. Threat to cognition, perception or swallowing. In addition, patients will feel obvious head heaviness, because of tension and edema and other reasons, patients will have head inflexibility, which will also have a great impact on the facial features, resulting in eyeball push down, relatively small face, etc.

matters needing attention

Brain edema is a secondary pathological process. Systemic diseases such as severe cerebrovascular disease, respiratory system disease, liver disease, shock, toxic metabolic disease change the internal environment of the machine, causing cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, cerebral microcirculation and brain cell metabolism disorders. Cocoa can cause brain edema. So it is a problem of universal significance. In neurosurgery, brain diseases such as craniocerebral injury, intracranial space occupying lesions, inflammation, cerebrovascular diseases, brain parasitic diseases, brain congenital diseases, often secondary edema, secondary edema, often related to the process and prognosis of intracranial diseases, more important. In the field of Neurosurgery, if we can know more about the mechanism of brain edema and prevent and treat brain edema, we can get better results in the treatment of intracranial diseases.
