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 کاملElectrocardiographic abnormalities associated with raised intracranial pressure.
Serial electrocardiographic (E.C.G.) recordings were taken in seven patients suffering from intracranial conditions, for which their intracranial pressure was directly and continuously monitored with a Konigsberg extradural transducer. The E.C.G. changes observed in patients with raised intracranial pressure were prominent U waves, ST-T segment changes, notched T waves, and shortening and prolo...
متن کاملDivergence paralysis with raised intracranial pressure
Divergence paralysis is characterized by acquired horizontal homonymous diplopia when viewing distant objects but without limitation of ocular movements (Bielschowsky, I935). Although raised intracranial pressure is a significant aetiological factor in the production of divergence paralysis (Bender and Savitsky, I940; Chamlin and Davidoff, I950, 1951), there has been much diversity of opinion a...
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 کاملRaised intracranial pressure and seizures in the neurological intensive care unit.
BACKGROUND The relationship between changes in intracranial pressure and incidence of subclinical seizures in patients requiring neurological intensive care is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate if acute increases in intracranial pressure were accompanied by subclinical seizures. METHODS We prospectively studied 17 intensive care patients (11 male, aged 3-66 yr) wh...
