Diagnostic tests for Brain swelling:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Brain swelling. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- Note increase in head circumference measurements out of proportion to other body dimensions or a single head circumference measurement which greatly exceeds the 97th percentile
- Note large and bulging fontanelle; thinning of the bones of the skull; widening of the sutures; thin, shiny pale scalp; sparse hair; distended superficial scalp veins
- Neurological examination including looking for papilledema
- Evaluate the mental status

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Brain swelling.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- When did the brain swelling (hydrocephalus) first become evident? If at birth or at a few months of age must consider congenital malformation (e.g. Arnold-Chiari malformation, Dandy-Walker Syndrome, Congenital stenosis of the Aqueduct of Sylvius). If in an older and previously normal child, must consider a posterior fossa brain tumor e.g. medulloblastoma, astrocytoma and ependymoma
- What was the rapidity of onset of brain swelling?
- What was the rate of progression of brain swelling?
- What is the developmental progress in the baby or child?
- Is there a history of head injury? - must consider possibility of subdural haematoma as cause of brain swelling.
- more questions...»

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Brain swelling) may include:
- Are there symptoms of brain swelling? - e.g. In a baby is there failure to thrive in baby, delayed developmental gains, poor head control in baby, poor feeding, or irritability?. In older children are there changes in behavior, a clumsy gait, abnormal speech, tremor and poor co-ordination?. In adults there may be headache, vomiting, blurry vision and poor co-ordination in movement.
- Vomiting excessively? - may suggest brain swelling has occurred and progressed more rapidly.
- Neurological symptoms? - e.g. poor co-ordination of movement, tremor, seizures.
- Symptoms of meningitis or encephalitis? - may suggest cause of brain swelling.
- Symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus? - usually in elderly and include dementia, urinary incontinence and apraxia (poor ability to perform voluntary movements).

Patient Surveys for Brain swelling
Definitions of Brain swelling:
Brain swelling: a pathologic entity, localized or generalized, characterized by an increase in bulk of brain tissue, due to expansion of the intravascular (congestion) or extravascular (edema) compartments that may coexist or may occur separately and be clinically indistinguishable; clinical manifestations depend on disturbed neuronal function due to local swelling, shifting of intracranial structures, and the effects of intracranial hypertension or circulatory disturbance.
