What causes pressure on brainstem?
This can be caused by trauma, tumors, increased intracranial pressure, among other things.
What is intracranial?
Intracranial surgery is surgery that is done within the cranium or the skull
What is intracranial surgery?

What are Secondary intracranial tumors?
Secondary intracranial tumors arise from outside the brain coverings (meninges)
What is an intracranial operation?
It is a operation on the brain
What increases intracranial pressure?
Increased intracranial pressure can be caused by various factors such as traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, hydrocephalus, cerebral edema, meningitis, and intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, conditions like dehydration, obstructed cerebrospinal fluid flow, or certain medications can also contribute to elevated intracranial pressure.
What does the acronym BIH mean?
The acronym BIH can mean dozens of things. Ball in hand (billiards), benign intracranial hypertension and bringing it home, to name a few.
What is the typical change in blood pressure with increased intracranial pressure?
Increased intracranial pressure can lead to changes in blood pressure due to the body's compensatory mechanisms. Typically, there is an initial increase in blood pressure in response to increased intracranial pressure to maintain cerebral perfusion. However, as intracranial pressure continues to rise, blood pressure may decrease due to impaired cerebral autoregulation and compromised blood flow to the brain. Overall, the relationship between intracranial pressure and blood pressure is complex and can vary depending on individual factors and the underlying cause of increased intracranial pressure.
Does mannitol increase intracranial pressure?
No, it decreases it
How might the fontanels be used to estimate intracranial pressure?
Fontanels are soft spots on a baby's skull where the bones have not yet fused. By feeling the tension or bulging of the fontanels, healthcare providers can get an indirect estimate of intracranial pressure. If the fontanels are tense and bulging, it could indicate increased intracranial pressure, while sunken fontanels may indicate dehydration or decreased intracranial pressure.
How many intracranial tumors occur per year?
The incidence of primary intracranial tumors is 11.5 per 100,000, or approximately 35,000 persons per year
