Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion for 2.5 months in mice caused significant short-term memory deficits, mild long-term spatial memory impairment, as well as increased level of tau phosphorylation, suggesting that chronic cerebral hypoperfusion causes cognitive impairment and contributes to Alzheimer’s pathology . The sudden death of neurons ...
Abstract. Intracranial aneurysms (IA) are local dilatations in cerebral arteries that predominantly affect the circle of Willis. Occurring in approximately 2-5% of adults, these weakened areas are susceptible to rupture, leading to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of hemorrhagic stroke. Due to its early age of onset and poor prognosis, SAH ...
Sep 25, 2023 · Acute brain injury is a significant cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality. Management should be tailored towards preventing sustained periods of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) to limit secondary damage and prevent cerebral herniation. This article aims to promote recognition of children with raised ICP, explore the goals behind available management options and provide clinicians ...
Oct 15, 2020 · Rupture of the arteries leading to the brain during stroke results in the sudden death of brain cells owing to a lack of oxygen. Stroke can also lead to depression and dementia. Until the International Classification of Disease 11 (ICD-11) was released in 2018, stroke was classified as a disease of the blood vessels.
The most common explanation of the mechanism of sudden death due to intracranial neoplasms is a rapid increase in intracranial pressure produced by the mass effect of the neoplasm.

This type of death can be subclassified as: sudden death in unexamined cases
This article introduces the basic concepts of intracranial physiology and pressure dynamics. It also includes discussion of signs and symptoms and examination and radiographic findings of patients with acute cerebral herniation as a result of increased as well as decreased intracranial pressure. Current best practices regarding medical and surgical treatments and approaches to management of ...
