Signs And Symptoms Of Cerebral Edema

Seizures

Seizures can be caused by injury, or even by an infection the brain like meningitis. As such, it's a critical sign you or someone you know has cerebral edema. There are different types of seizures as well, so it's important to know which one you are suffering from. Tonic-clonic is the most common form of seizure in which your arms and legs become stiff and jerk. You may also stop breathing until the seizure is over. Absence seizures occur when you lose consciousness, though it is important to note these typically affect children more so than adults. Febrile seizures occur in children, are usually due to an illness, typically only last for a few minutes, and are relatively harmless. Partial focus seizures occur in a single location of the brain but can spread to other parts of the brain. There are two different kinds of partial focus seizures. The first is when you remain conscious and aware of what is going on, and you may or may not be able to respond. In the second, you lose consciousness.
