Abstract
Among the patient material of the authors (2, 6, 7, 9), who have special clinical experience in methods and indication of measuring intracranial pressure, patients with space-occupying infratentorial processes form a relatively small group. This is quite surprising, as acute increase of CSF pressure after operation within the posterior fossa has been known for a long time and has been treated — according to CUSHING — by single or repeated drainage of CSF by puncturing the lateral ventricle.
