Why is cell swelling in the brain especially dangerous?
Because there is no-where for the extra swelling to go - since the brain is completely enclosed by a solid skull, any swelling of the tissue causes an increase in the pressure of the surrounding fluid, which causes damage to the brain.
What damage is caused from swelling of the brain?
Swelling of the brain, also known as cerebral edema, can cause increased pressure within the skull, leading to reduced blood flow to the brain and potential damage to brain tissue. It can result in symptoms such as headaches, nausea, seizures, confusion, and even coma or death. Prompt medical intervention is necessary to reduce the swelling and prevent further damage to the brain.
What damage will be caused by swelling of the right side of the brain?
Will not only cause pressure and damage to that side of the brain, the left side of the brain will also be pushed up against the hard surface of the skull, causing damage to the left side of the brain as well.
Why person becomes comatose after stroke?
the impact can cause the brain to move back and forth inside the skull. The movement of the brain inside the skull can tear blood vessels and nerve fibers, which causes swelling in the brain. This swelling presses down on blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood (and with it, oxygen) to the brain.

Due to brain swelling does the surgeon remove part of the skull to relieve pressure?
Yes, its a craniotomy. They did it to my brother. They first monitor you intracranial pressure (ICP) and if it is too high then they will remove pieces of the skulls to relieve the pressure. Those pieces are then stored in a bone bank until your brain is no longer swollen. That is when they replace the skull. It could take weeks for the swelling to go down depending on the patient. My brother has had his out for 3 and a half weeks now and its no where near ready to go back in.
Is their spikes on the inside of the human skull?
