  • Title: Brainstem ischemia in acute herniation syndrome.
    Author: Hussain SI, Cordero-Tumangday C, Goldenberg FD, Wollman R, Frank JI, Rosengart AJ.
    Journal: J Neurol Sci; 2008 May 15; 268(1-2):190-2. PubMed ID: 18164729.
    Abstract:
    Brain herniation from hemispheric mass lesions injures mainly the upper brainstem around the tentorial incisura. While mechanical tissue compression is usually the process of deterioration and injury, the primary injury mechanism in some patients is early brainstem ischemia from arterial compromise as demonstrated by this patient's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathology.
