What are the symptoms of intracranial venous sinus occlusive intracranial hypertension?

summary

Data show that in recent years incidence rate of intracranial hypertension of intracranial venous sinus occlusion has been increasing year by year. My uncle is the patient who has been suffering from this disease for many years. Health is the capital of revolution. Understanding the symptoms of this disease is very helpful to treat the disease. First, listen to what the experts say.

What are the symptoms of intracranial venous sinus occlusive intracranial hypertension?

Superior sagittal sinus occlusion is usually non infective and is often associated with hemodynamic abnormalities. The early symptoms of acute onset were headache, vomiting, delirium and convulsion. The scalp and external nasal veins may be distended and congested, the fontanel of infants may be tense and protruding, and sometimes there may be optic disc edema and strabismus. Can also produce bilateral cortical hemiplegia, or focal epilepsy. In chronic onset patients, only headache, optic disc edema or secondary optic atrophy may occur as a result of the establishment of collateral circulation of cortical veins and partial compensation.

Transverse sinus thrombosis is mainly caused by otitis media or mastoiditis. After several weeks, the patient has headache, aggravation when the head turns, vomiting, and congestion of skin veins behind the ear. If the phlebitis has extended to the internal jugular vein, there are tenderness and optic disc edema in the neck, which are mostly limited to the diseased side, and the degree is not serious. The symptoms of focal encephalitis are convulsion and contralateral hemiplegia. When the left transverse sinus thrombosis can show aphasia, most patients with tympanic membrane perforation pus, some patients with tympanic membrane redness, ear swelling.

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is often secondary to infection around the orbit, nose and face. The clinical manifestations are eye and face symptoms, mainly cerebral nerve, sympathetic nerve and venous reflux disorders. The damage of the first and second branches of the oculomotor, trochlear, abductor and trigeminal nerves, the damage of the sympathetic plexus of the carotid artery cause Horner's syndrome, retinal hemorrhage in the fundus, edema of the optic disc and atrophy of the optic nerve, and the obstruction of venous return can cause exophthalmos and eyelid edema.

matters needing attention

Objective to prevent the cause of venous sinus occlusive intracranial hypertension, treat chronic otitis media and some systemic diseases that may cause the disease, such as extracranial tumors, blood diseases, metabolic disorders, etc. Avoid the inducement of brain hernia: patients should avoid cough, constipation, lifting heavy objects, etc., to prevent sudden increase of intracranial hypertension and induce brain hernia.
