Massive hemorrhage into the glioblastoma, brain edema, and herniation explain the death of this patient. |
The brain was edematous, with mild uncal herniation, tonsillar herniation, and a left-to-right shift. |
On the lateral radiograph there appeared to be herniation of the left lung through the anterior mediastinum. |
Mechanical problems with colostomies include herniation, prolapse, and stenosis. |
Transependymal flow is also seen and consistent with obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct from compression of the midbrain by uncal herniation. |
In contrast, cerebral edema was present in 4 of 10 fatal cases in the Paris series, and in 1 there was herniation. |
