Vascular intracranial hypertension pathogenesis and treatment

Abstract

Intracranial hypertension can occur in cerebral-vascular illnesses due to sanguine, cerebral or extra-cerebral circulatory disorders, which modify the dynamics of the intracranial fluids and cause the intracranial pressure increase. The volume of the cerebral parenchyma increases due to the modifications occurred at the level of the cerebral sanguine capillaries, which leads to: the occurrence of the extra cellular brain edema and cerebral congestive edematization with an increase in the volume of the cerebral parenchyma by vascular dilatation. The vascular types of intracranial hypertension have characteristic etiologies and they occur in thrombophlebites and cerebral venous thrombosis, in hypertensive encephalopathy and during the ischemic stroke.
