Introduction: The interconnection between cerebral edema and intracranial hypertension requires complex and rigorous monitoring, since cerebral edema directly influences the increase in intracranial pressure, resulting in a series of serious symptoms that can vary depending on the extent of the edema and other underlying factors. Objective: Understand complications arising from trauma and how to manage cerebral edema and intracranial pressure. Methodology: The Cochrane, Medline and Pubmed databases were used, searching for articles published between the years 2015 to 2023, in Portuguese or English. Conclusion: The treatment of these post-trauma conditions varies according to the clinical manifestations of each patient, therefore, obtaining an early diagnosis contributes to better monitoring and recovery.
