Compression of brain - what does this mean
Compression of the brain occurs when a mass, such as a tumor, a hematoma, or an abscess, grows large enough to push against the brain tissue and cause pressure. this pressure can cause a variety of neurological symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, depending on the size and location of the mass.
What happens during the disease - compression of brain
Compression of the brain occurs when a force is applied to the brain that causes it to be squeezed or compressed. this can occur due to a number of causes, including head trauma, tumors, stroke, and hydrocephalus. when the brain is compressed, it can cause a disruption of normal brain function, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms, including changes in consciousness, headache, nausea, confusion, and seizures.
