"Have you been checked at the hospital over there? What did the doctors say? Did they do any treatment?"
Zhao Heng asked consecutively.
Headache, fever, vomiting and loss of speech function are very typical signs of brain edema. The only unknown is what is causing this brain edema.
Brain edema refers to the pathological condition where the brain's water content increases, leading to an enlarged brain volume, which is a response of brain tissue to various pathogenic factors.
Brain edema can cause increased intracranial pressure, which manifests as symptoms of headache and vomiting, and also damages brain tissue, thereby affecting the functions of the language and movement centers.
Clinically, it is common in neurological diseases such as cranial trauma, intracranial infections (encephalitis, meningitis, etc.), cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial space-occupying lesions (such as tumors), epileptic seizures, and systemic diseases like toxic dysentery, severe pneumonia.
