Question
What Are the Consequences of Persistent Increased Intracranial Pressure?
Answer
Persistent increased intracranial pressure can lead to brain displacement, and as it gradually worsens, it can form a cerebral hernia. Supratentorial brain hemisphere tumors can produce a cerebellar tonsillar hernia, with the cingulate gyrus shifting over the midline, causing wedge-shaped necrosis. The corpus callosum can also be compressed and displaced, leading to severe cases of ischemic stroke in the supply area. More importantly, there is the cerebellar tentorial incisural hernia, where the gyrus of the lateral sulcus of the temporal lobe herniates posteriorly through the cerebellar tentorial incisure.
