Brain herniation, also referred to as acquired intracranial herniation, refers to shift of brain tissue from its normal location, into an adjacent space as a result of mass effect. It is a life-threatening condition that requires prompt diagnosis.
Pathology
There are a number of different patterns of brain herniation that describe the type of herniation occurring:
- subfalcine herniation
- transalar herniation: ascending and descending
- transtentorial herniation
- downward: uncal herniation and central herniation
- upward: ascending transtentorial herniation
- tonsillar herniation
- extracranial (transcalvarial) herniation
- paradoxical brain herniation
Etiology
Any intracranial mass can have this effect:
- intracranial hemorrhage
- cerebral swelling
- cerebral infarction
- peritumoural or periabscess edema
- tumors
- brain tumors
- meningioma
- base of skull tumors
- suprasellar tumors
- cerebral abscess
