Question

With the brain damage that results from increased intracranial pressure secondary to cerebral edema?

Select one:

a. Myelan degeneration from circulating enzymes released in areas of tissue damage

b. Decreased cerebral perfusion from hypotension and blood loss

c. Axonal sharing and caring from displacement of the brain and the cranium

d. Cerebral tissue hypoxia and ischemia from compression of blood vessels

Answer 1

Option D

Cerebral edema causes the increased intracranial pressure will compress the blood vessels in the brain thus reducing the blood flow to the brain tissue. So this reduced blood flow will cause cerebral tissue hypoxia and ischaemia

In cerebral edema there will be no release of enzymes that cause myelin degeneration

Blood loss and Hypotension are not associated with cerebral edema

Axonal sharing occurs in the traumatic injury to the brain

Hope this helps... Thank you!!!
