Increased Intracranial Pressure treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Increased intracranial pressure occurs when the pressure inside the skull rises, whether from inflammation, excess fluid, bleeding, or the presence of a lesion that takes up space.

Common symptoms:

• Intense headache, sometimes worse upon waking
• Nausea or vomiting
• Blurred vision and changes in alertness

When to see a doctor? It is a situation that demands urgent attention when the headache is severe and is accompanied by vomiting, drowsiness, or changes in vision or consciousness.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the neurosurgeon evaluate and manage this condition, with support from critical care medicine when it is serious. With these signs, seeking a professional evaluation immediately is the most prudent thing.
