• Abstract:

  Intracranial Hypertension is a disease characterized by the reduction of Intracranial Pressure, causing an abrupt reduction of the Cerebral Blood Flow, which may result in the clinical picture of Cerebral Edema. This article presents, by means of integrative review, which are the possible etiological and pathogenic factors that may be related, emphatically, to the Cell Edema caused by Intracranial Hypertension. The objective of this study was to determine the pathogenesis related to the etiology of the aforementioned disease, as well as to approach its possible effects on the osmotic and electrolytic balances of the ion channels. For this review, searches in: Medline, PubMed, SciELO and Google Academic; having, as a search parameter, articles that were relevant to the subject addressed. The results obtained have the purpose of determining several pathogenies related to the etiologies of Intracranial Hypertension, thus concluding that it is an adversity still being understood by science.
