[Intracranial hypertension].
Intracranial hypertension is a serious consequence of the impaired intracranial volume homeostasis. It can be encountered in practically all fields of clinical praxis. The article reviews bibliographic data of the mechanisms of the intracranial hypertension development: Intracranial expansion, Brain edema, Hemodynamic brain edema, Liquor accumulation--hydrocephalus. A pathophysiological approach to the hypotheses of edema and brain swelling is stressed. Outlines of the modern diagnostics and therapy of the intracranial hypertension are presented.
