BACKGROUND Some publications suggest a strong correlation between the intracranial pressure and the intraocular pressure. Other studies claim no correlation between these two physiologic variables. Our aim was to study whether the tonometry could be a useful method to evaluate intracranial pressure in patients with suspected intracranial abnormality. METHODS We evaluated the correlation betwe...

introduction: timely diagnosis and treatment of post traumatic, elevated intracranial pressure (eicp), could reduce morbidity and mortality, as well as improve patients’ outcome. this study is trying to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic optic nerve sheath diameter (onsd) in detection of eicp. methods: sonographic onsd of patients with head trauma or cerebrovascular accident suspic...

objective: monitoring of intracranial pressure (icp) is a routine procedure in the neurosurgery field. although the routine practice of monitoring icp has decreased in recent years, the practice patterns have not been studied in colombia. this study was designed to evaluate the current practice for ventriculostomy and icp monitoring by neurosurgeons in colombia. methods: an 11-question electron...
