According to Dr. Kim, this stress can cause tissue damage, harming the liver, stomach, pancreas, and brain in the long term. Impacts of Alcohol-Induced Inflammation on the Body
Neuroinflammation is widely regarded as chronic, as opposed to acute, inflammation of the central nervous system. [5] Acute inflammation usually follows injury to the central nervous system immediately, and is characterized by inflammatory molecules, endothelial cell activation, platelet deposition, and tissue edema. [6]
Brain scan, done by MRI, can determine inflammation and differentiate from other possible causes. EEG, in monitoring brain activity, encephalitis will produce abnormal signal. Lumbar puncture (spinal tap), this helps determine via a test using the cerebral-spinal fluid, obtained from the lumbar region. Blood test; Urine analysis
The inflammation of the brain tissue may also obstruct the normal flow of CSF around the brain (hydrocephalus). [3] Seizures may occur for various reasons; in children, seizures are common in the early stages of meningitis (in 30% of cases) and do not necessarily indicate an underlying cause. [ 8 ]
The symptoms of cerebritis may range from mild to severe. [3] The severity of the symptoms varies based on the degree of swelling and on how elevated is the intracranial pressure. Mild symptoms include headaches, depression, anxiety and in some cases, memory loss. In some cases, inflammation of the brain can be seen if the brain or the nervous ...

[1] It affects all of the vessels: very small blood vessels ( capillaries ), medium-size blood vessels ( arterioles and venules ), or large blood vessels ...

Limbic encephalitis is a form of encephalitis, a disease characterized by inflammation of the brain. [1] Limbic encephalitis is caused by autoimmunity: an abnormal state where the body produces antibodies against itself. Some cases are associated with cancer and some are not. [1]
