Hernia Cranial-Cerebral Nasal

Cranio-cerebral nasal hernia, H. cerebralis nasal is a pathological condition characterized by the formation of a defect in the craniofacial region as a result of dislocation of the contents of the skull and the venous-arterial system located in it.

This pathology can be either congenital or acquired - due to a head injury or previous infectious diseases. Currently, this disease occurs in one child out of a hundred. A herniated cranial vein is most often the result of trauma. It depends on the type and degree of the latter. Even a minor head injury can cause a fracture of the basilar bone and damage to the internal carotid artery and vein. Damage to a cerebral vessel leads to changes in cerebral blood flow and increased intracranial pressure. The skull is no longer able to compensate for these disturbances and a breakthrough of the brain capsule occurs. This requires immediate assistance from specialists: a neurosurgeon, anesthesiologist and general practitioner. Hypoxia (oxygen starvation) can also lead to the formation of hernias (intracranial hematoma). The admixture of gastric contents in the cerebrospinal fluid or spinal puncture often indicates the presence of gastric contents in the skull through a hernia.
