Raised intracranial pressure.
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a common problem in neurosurgical and neurological practice. It can arise as a consequence of intracranial mass lesions, disorders of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, and more diffuse intracranial pathological processes. Its development may be acute or chronic. There are well established methods for the measurement, continuous monitoring, and treatmen...
متن کاملInitial enlargement of the opposite pupil as a false localising sign in intraparenchymal frontal haemorrhage.
Ipsilateral third nerve palsy with early pupillary enlargement is an important sign of transtentorial herniation from a supratentorial mass lesion. A case of frontal, intraparenchymal haemorrhage is reported in which the first ocular manifestation of transtentorial herniation was enlargement of the contralateral pupil. The ipsilateral pupil dilated only after complete oculomotor palsy of the co...
متن کاملManagement of raised intracranial pressure.
Appropriate management of raised intracranial pressure begins with stabilization of the patient and simultaneous assessment of the level of sensorium and the cause of raised intracranial pressure. Stabilization is initiated with securing the airway, ventilation and circulatory function. The identification of surgically remediable conditions is a priority. Emergent use of external ventricular dr...
متن کاملVertigo as a prognostic sign in sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Several prognostic indicators of favorable outcome in idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) have been proposed: an initial profound hearing loss, a down-sloping audiometric curve, advanced age, and the presence of vertigo. The latter has been disputed in the literature. The present study addressed the correlation between vertigo and outcome of ISSHL. Sixty-seven patients with ISS...
متن کاملFalse localising signs.
Neurological signs have been described as "false localising" if they reflect dysfunction distant or remote from the expected anatomical locus of pathology, hence challenging the traditional clinicoanatomical correlation paradigm on which neurological examination is based. False localising signs occur in two major contexts: as a consequence of raised intracranial pressure, and with spinal cord l...
