Does anyone have any info on Intracranial Hypertension?

---

My friend has this and is having a shunt put in to drain the extra cerebral spinal fluid.
I was just wanting some info from personal experience. Yes, I know there are websites to look this up.....
Yeah, I think its also called psuedotumor cerebri. Basically its an increase in the fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, that bathes your spinal cord and brain through the ventricles in your brain. The original artic explorers often got it from eating whale liver full of vitamin A but there are other reasons you'd get it beside hypervitaminosis A
They're probably putting in a vp shunt to drain the fluid into the abdomen.They block every now and then but I think they're sucessful  (+ info)

Diag: Cerebellar dysfunction 2nd degree to vestibulitis, intracranial neoplasm, subdural hemotoma?

---

this diag. is from 1971

This is a diagnosis that was given to me when I was a child - can anyone help me with definitions of this.

I know it has to do with the brain being inflamed and having abnormal growth and a blood clot.
I would just like to know what it really means.
As a supplement to what essentiallysolo answered it should be mentioned that not all intracranial neoplasias are malignant (ie cancers). For instance most menigiomas are considered benign. Also some astrocytomas, ("pilocytic astrocytomas" are often seen in childhood in the cerebellum) behave benign. Was that what you had?.  (+ info)

blood pressure, hormone changes, stress levels, eating habits, rest, all change during pregnancy and may effect your headaches. It may be as simple as you not being aware so much but focusing on your pregnancy and your stress levels, etc lower your BP and have lessened your headaches.  (+ info)

How intracranial pressure(CSF) can be reduced?

---

One patient is suffering from suspected TBM. Every two months CSF is taken out by Lumber puncture and every tme it is found increased. Is there any other way to controll it ? or how lumber puncture can be pain free
Definitive diagnosis has to be established. Ruling-in and ruling-out posible diagnosis is based also on signs and syptoms. Since TB meningitis is suspected other test should be done to show presences of the mycobacterium. Culture is done on the collected CSF.

Abnormal CSF depends on the findings by lumbar tap. In this case CSF should have a high protein, low glucose and a elevated number of lymphocytes.

Treatment and management is based on the presumption that there is a reason to suspect TB. Isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol are the main anti-TB drugs given.

Pain free lumbar tap is only posible if the patient is sadated, which is rarely done. Local anesthesia is not admistered since it can contaminate the sample and is not feasible since a lumber tap punctures several layers and cannot be all anesthesized.

Simply put...a definitive diagnosis will be followed by a proper management.  (+ info)

Splinter hemorrhages under my nails?

---

I'm a fairly health 27 year old causcasian man with no history of any heart problems in my family. For awhile now, I've had splinter hemorrhages under my nails, and never thought anything of them. Now I'm looking online and I see that this may be a symptom of a serious heart condition? I have them on various fingernails and toenails pretty consistently.

Should I be worried? Is there anyway to get rid of them?
I've had them for years. Would infective endocarditis have killed me by now?
You know what? I get those things all the time and never knew what they were until now. Thank you - here's a star!!

I have Lupus and I looked at a couple of websites, and that is one of the conditions you could have if you have splinter hemorrhages. Here is the web page:

Check it out, there is a list of many things it could be other than bacterial endocarditis.  (+ info)

what is an increaded intracranial pressure and what is its cause?

---

Swelling, usually by hitting your head. Swelling makes tissue expand and puts pressure on your brain. Since the inside of your head is under a domed skull, your head cannot expand to accommodate the pressure like if your sprain your ankle. If can also occur if you have extra fluid in your head. Theres basically no where for it to go so it creates pressure against your brain. Usually treated with steroids and diuretics to get the water out or the pressure down.  (+ info)

what cause projectile vomiting in increased intracranial pressure?

---

please answer in more medical aspect please thank you..
When you vomit due to GI problems, the signal to vomit is not usually that strong. When ICP puts pressure on the vomiting center in your brain, directly stimulating the VC, the signal to vomit can be very strong indeed.  (+ info)
