Midline Shift And Brain Compression

Brain shift . see Midline shift . Brain shifts following microsurgical clip ligation of anterior communicating artery aneurysms can lead to mechanical compression of the optic nerve by the clip. Recognition of this condition and early repositioning of clips can lead to reversal of vision loss.. Linzey et al., identified 3 patients with an afferent pupillary defect following microsurgical

Stéphane Olindo, Igor Sibon, in Brain Edema, 2017. Influence of the Genetic Background. Although some patients develop little edema, without midline shift , other patients with a comparable stroke size proceed to life-threatening brain swelling. 7 The cause of these differences has hardly been investigated so far. The influence of genetic variations, mainly in ...

Vasogenic brain edema formation is a serious complication in hemispheric stroke. Its space-occupying effect can lead to midline - shift (MLS), cerebral herniation, and death. Clinical studies indicate that quantification of MLS can predict cerebral herniation and subsequent death at ...

Midline shift of less than 5 mm GCS greater than 8 and on physical examination, shows no focal neurological symptoms. If the decision is made to manage acute EDH non-surgically, close observation with repeated neurological examinations and continuous surveillance with brain imaging is required, as the risk for hematoma expansion and clinical
