Introduction Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) can cause secondary brain injury, which is associated with severe disability and mortality [1]. Invasive ICP monitoring has been linked to increased mortality [2]. Sekhon, et al. [3] demonstrated a strong correlation between optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) on CT scan and ICP, with the potential to use this non-invasive method to detect raised ICP.

To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Wang et al1 regarding the use of transcranial Doppler sonography to assess middle cerebral artery flow parameters in patients with serious brain injury. The importance of developing noninvasive techniques to monitor intracranial pressure in patients at risk of developing raised intracranial pressure remains challenging, but if achieved, they h...

craniosynostoses is defined as a condition of premature fusion in one or more cranial sutures leading to a number of significant complications, mainly raised intracranial pressure which can itself cause other neurodevelopmental complications. copper beaten skull appearance is a well-known presentation of craniosynostoses made by the strong impression of the brain’s gyri on the inner layer of th...

Background and Importance: Arachnoid cysts are benign nontumoral lesions that are usually found incidentally in brain imaging. Suprasellar Arachnoid Cysts (SSACs) are rare. They can cause hydrocephalus and increased intracranial pressure, lower cranial nerve impairment and endocrine disorder. Sometimes arachnoid cysts become complicated by subdural hematoma/hygroma.  Case Presentation: We...

Lhermitte Duclos disease also called dysplastic gangliocytoma of cerebellum is an extremely rare cerebellar neoplasm. It usually presents with raised intracranial pressure along with cerebellar signs. We report a rare case of Lhermitte Duclos disease of a 20 years male who presented with signs & symptoms of raised intracranial tension. CT features were suggestive of Lhermitte-Duclos disease. Su...

Trigeminal neuralgia was the presenting symptom in two patients with aqueduct stenosis, hydrocephalus, and raised intracranial pressure. Treatment of the hydrocephalus resulted in the remission of pain in both patients.

An unusual case of intradural paragangliomas in the cauda equina region in a 29-year-old male is presented. The patient presented with signs and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure. The symptoms resolved after tumor resection.

A 27-year-old man suffered a relatively minor trauma. He developed signs of raised intracranial pressure three days after injury. Investigations revealed superior sagittal sinus and torcular thrombosis.

objective(s): brain edema is one of the most serious causes of death within the first few days after trauma brain injury (tbi). in this study we have investigated the role of shilajit on brain edema, blood-brain barrier (bbb) permeability, intracranial pressure (icp) and neurologic outcomes following brain trauma.   materials and methods: diffuse traumatic brain trauma was induced in rats by dr...
