What happens if your brain is swollen?

Swelling – also called edema – is your body’s response to many types of injury. It can result from overuse or infection. Usually, swelling happens quickly and is simple to treat with some combination of rest, ice, elevation, medication, or removal of excess fluid.

Your brain can also swell as a result of injury, illness, or other reasons. Brain swelling, though, can quickly cause serious problems – including death. It’s also usually more difficult to treat. That’s because as your body’s master control system, the brain is critical to your overall function. Yet, the thick, bony skull that snugly protects this vital organ provides little room for the brain to swell.

your skull cannot expand to allow space for the swollen brain, and the resulting pressure causes brain tissue to die.

Oh Goody. lol, wasn’t very smart to begin with anyway =P Thanks :)

Thanks!

Your brain can also swell as a result of injury, illness, or other reasons. Brain swelling, though, can quickly cause serious problems like death. Swelling causes pressure that can prevent blood from flowing to your brain, depriving it of oxygen. get in touch with http://funadvice.com/r/brolthu3eva
