Interference with the blood supply can cause dangerous increases in ICP that can lead to more dangerous forms of herniation. [14] Symptoms for cingulate herniation are not well defined. [14] Usually occurring in addition to uncal herniation, cingulate herniation may present with abnormal posturing and coma. [7]
Kernohan's notch is a cerebral peduncle indentation associated with some forms of transtentorial herniation (uncal herniation). [1] [2] It is a secondary condition caused by a primary injury on the opposite hemisphere of the brain. [3]
In herniation syndrome, which is indicative of brain herniation, decorticate posturing occurs, and, if the condition is left untreated, develops into decerebrate posturing. [ 12 ] Posturing has also been displayed by patients with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease , [ 13 ] diffuse cerebral hypoxia , [ 14 ] and brain abscesses .
Types of brain herniation [21] 1) Uncal 2) Central - The brainstem herniates caudally. 3) Cingulate herniation - The brain squeezes under the falx cerebri . 4) Transcalvarial herniation - through a skull fracture 5) Upward herniation of the cerebellum 6) Tonsillar herniation - the cerebellar tonsils herniate through the foramen magnum.

This is called herniation and will often cause an enlarged pupil on the affected side, due to pressure on the oculomotor nerve. Tentorial herniation is a serious symptom, especially since the brainstem is likely to be compressed as well if the intracranial pressure rises further. A common type of herniation is uncal herniation.
Treatment involves replacing or flushing the shunt to address the cause of the obstruction and restore flow through the catheter. [66] The rate of initial shunt infection ranges from 3.6 to 12.6% [9] The signs and symptoms of shunt infection are variable, but the most common include headache, nausea, fever, swelling, and lethargy.

[9] [10] This occurs ~2 1/2 months following injury, without associated neurological symptoms or pain, and typically resolves within 1 year. [ citation needed ] This sign is also sometimes seen as part of a " discontinuation syndrome " associated with certain psychotropic medications, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and ...
