The Time Course of Brain Tissue Pressure and Local CBF in Vasogenic Edema

  • Conference paper

Summary

Our results for tissue pressure show:

  1. 1.

    Resting brain tissue pressure is above atmospheric pressure and equal to cerebrospinal fluid pressure.

  2. 2.

    The ventricular fluid pressure provides a reasonable estimate (± 10 mm Hg) of the maximum brain tissue pressure.

  3. 3.

    Excluding impaction, the maximum brain tissue pressure gradients developed are transient, less than 10 mm Hg, and dissipate within 2 h.

  4. 4.

    With impaction, the brain tissue pressure tends to equilibrate with the compartmental CSF pressure.
