Abstract
The significance of intracranial pressure increase in regard to the prognosis of the patients with acute brain lesions until now was not unanimously assessed (1 – 6). Therefore in the present analysis the question which has to be examined is which position the intracranial pressure takes within prognostic factors, especially the age of the patients and the degree of neurologic disorders.
