Cranial hernia

A hernia is when a hole the size of the median vein is formed in the tunica media and spinal substance enters from the cranial cavity under the tunica media. Hernial protrusion, retraction, recurrent occurrence are the most characteristic clinical signs.

Hernias were described by Hippocrates, but have not lost their relevance to this day, since they are among the most common causes of death in newborns and children under 1 year of age. In modern practice, there is a high frequency of hernia. It is very difficult to conduct a complete statistical assessment of these conditions, since there is a real problem of accurately identifying species and “unclear” cases, as well as the subsequent high mortality rate in children under one year of age. It should be noted that due to the increasing level of infant mortality and a fairly large volume of research into the causes of this pathology, the number of cases in the antenatal period in newborn fetuses is steadily increasing, which are often never fully cured. In this case, the disease can manifest itself not only as a neurological pathology, but also as cardiovascular disorders, pneumonia, intestinal diseases, etc.

A cranial hernia is a pathological condition that manifests itself in the movement of part of the brain through the opening of the brain. It can be caused by various reasons, such as head injury, infection, cancer or age-related changes. A hernia can lead to serious complications such as stroke, epilepsy, paralysis and death.

Cranial herniation usually occurs in adults over 50 years of age, but can also occur in younger people. Symptoms of a hernia may include headache, nausea, vomiting and dizziness. More serious symptoms include decreased vision, sudden blindness, and paralysis. If you experience these symptoms, it is important to contact your doctor immediately.

Treatment of a herniated skull is done through surgery. Before the operation, the patient is examined to determine the severity of the pathology. Surgery is usually performed by removing a piece of the brain or strengthening the hole through which it moves. Although surgery is a necessary measure, it can have serious consequences.
