Brain herniation survival rate, timely treatment prolongs life

Brain hernia is a disease caused by increased intracranial pressure. Patients will experience severe headaches and frequent vomiting. Brain hernia poses a certain threat to the patient's life safety because it is not treated in time. Scientific treatment can also increase the chance of cure of brain hernia.

1. Survival rate of brain herniation

1. Many brain diseases are caused by untimely treatment or the patient's condition is very serious, which eventually induces other diseases. For example, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other neurological diseases, under the influence of certain factors, may induce this brain herniation disease. Therefore, actively controlling the disease is the key factor in recovery.

2. Regardless of the disease that ultimately induces brain herniation, the patient's clinical manifestations are relatively similar. The most common manifestation of this patient is impaired consciousness or even coma and other symptoms. Therefore, it is very difficult to treat.

3. Patients with brain herniation already have a serious condition and have no tolerance for treatment, especially surgical treatment. Therefore, the ultimate outcome for patients with this brain herniation disease is death. Therefore, even with treatment, it can only prolong the patient's life.

2. Treatment of brain herniation

1. External ventricular drainage: It can effectively reduce intracranial pressure in the short term and temporarily relieve the condition. It is particularly effective in cases with hydrocephalus.

2. Decompression surgery: In case of transtentorial notch herniation, subcervical decompression surgery can be performed; in case of foramen magnum herniation, suboccipital decompression surgery can be performed. This type of decompression surgery often causes massive swelling of brain tissue, causing serious damage to brain function, so it should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

3. Cerebrospinal fluid shunt: Applicable to cases with hydrocephalus, can be selected according to specific circumstances and conditions:

① Ventriculocerebral shunt.

②Ventricular peritoneal shunt.

③Ventricular-atrial shunt, etc.

4. Internal decompression: When a large amount of brain tissue bulges out during craniotomy and the brain cavity cannot be closed, partial cerebral lobe resection is necessary to achieve the purpose of decompression.
