Non-operative Management of Intracranial Hypertension

  • Chapter
Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery

Part of the book series: Advances and Technical Standards in Neurosurgery ((NEUROSURGERY,volume 1))

Abstract

The brain, by being encased in a container with rigid walls, is unique among the organs of the human body. The restricted ability of the intracranial contents to expand implies that the intracranial pressure (ICP) is a parameter of central importance for the intracranial dynamics.
