Types of brain herniation The most common presentation of<unk> s is an acute stroke, which occurs when blood supply to the brain is compromised. Symptoms of stroke are usually rapid in onset, and may include weakness of one side of the face or body, numbness on one side of the face or body, inability to produce or understand speech, vision changes, and balance difficulties. Hemorrhagic strokes can present with a very severe, sudden headache associated with vomiting, neck stiffness, and decreased consciousness. Symptoms vary depending on the location and the size of the area of involvement of the stroke. Edema, or swelling, of the brain may occur which increases intracranial pressure and may result in brain herniation. A stroke may result in coma or death if it involves key areas of the brain. Other symptoms of<unk>  include migraines, seizures, epilepsy, or cognitive decline. However,<unk>  may go undetected for years until an acute stroke occurs. In addition, patients with some rare congenital<unk> s may begin to have these symptoms in childhood.
