Interstitial hydrocephalus, when the pressure difference between the ventricles is large, is usually more serious.
Interstitial cerebral edema is also known as hydrocephalic cerebral edema. The occurrence of interstitial cerebral edema is mostly due to the increase of intraventricular pressure, which leads to the further enlargement of the ventricles, and it will make the tissues inside and outside of the ventricles produce a significant pressure gradient, so that intraventricular cerebrospinal fluid can penetrate through the ventricular canal membrane of the ventricles to the surrounding brain tissues, which means that interstitial cerebral edema is produced.
If interstitial cerebral edema occurs and the pressure difference is large, it is more serious and needs to be treated for the cause of the disease, such as surgical treatment if it is caused by tumor compression; symptomatic cranial pressure lowering treatment, such as mannitol, furosemide and other cranial pressure lowering symptomatic treatment.
When interstitial cerebral edema is detected, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease and then target treatment.
