Figure Increased intracranial pressure

Increased intracranial pressure

1. Lateral ventricle -
   Lateral ventricle
2. Upper venous blood conductor
3. Arachnoid villi
   (Protuberances)
   Liquor outflow into the venous blood
4. Cerebrum = endbrain -
   Telencephalon (Cerembrum)
5. Skull roof -
   Calvaria
6. Third ventricle
   (third ventricle) -
   Ventriculus tertius
7. Water ladder - Aqueductus
   (Aqueduct)
8. Fourth ventricle
   (fourth ventricle) -
   Ventriculus quartus
   Causes:
   I - flow obstruction in
   Area of ​​the aqueduct
   (The drainage path is blocked
   due to tumor, abscess, cerebral hemorrhage)
   II - fluid increase -
   too much brain water (Liquor)
   due to cerebral edema (brain swelling)
   Use external ventricular drainage as a remedy
   Symptoms:
   A - nausea, vomiting,
   Loss of appetite, headache,
   Fatigue, rigidity with decortication
   Therapy:
   B - head must be stored straight
   C - Medicinal
   (Diuretics) around the
   Increase fluid excretion
   D - puncture of the external
   CSF spaces (e.g. lumbar puncture)
   E - External ventricular drainage -
   Drainage of the brain water
