Question
what does transtentorial herniation usually produce? respiratory arrest nystagmus one dilated pupil blindness in one eye severe lateral headache
Transtentorial herniation can compress the oculomotor nerve, leading to ipsilateral pupillary dilation. Respiratory arrest is more associated with brain - stem compression in later stages. Nystagmus is not a typical immediate sign. Blindness in one eye and severe lateral headache are not the most characteristic manifestations compared to pupillary changes.
