Brain Collapse

Brain collapse in medicine is a condition in which the brain matter and meninges are significantly reduced in size.

If usually the walls of the skull are filled with 30% brain matter, then when the brain decomposes, its volume will be only a third of normal. This pathology does not develop simultaneously in all parts of the brain; other structures are often affected. As a rule, these are zones formed by the soft meninges, where venous outflow is impaired (the lower parts of the cerebral hemispheres).

Collapse can be partial - against the background of damage to the brain substance, the brain cilia and blood vessels remain intact. Also found
