PY - 2018 T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) can be a life-threatening result of brain injury (e.g., traumatic), edema (e.g., encephalopathy, postoperative, stroke, or trauma), expanding intracranial masses (e.g., abscesses, epidural hemorrhage, intraparenchymal hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, and tumors), hydrocephalus (e.g., aqueductal stenosis, Chiari malformation, or lesions obstructing cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] flow), infection (e.g., abscesses and meningitis), ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, metabolic abnormalities (i.e., encephalopathy, hypo-osmolality, and uremia), neurologic disorders, and pseudotumor cerebri. Elevated ICP can lead to disability, death, and permanent neurologic damage. It is often seen in the Emergency Department in relation to head trauma. High ICP may be seen just before death. Control of elevated ICP and fluctuations may improve recovery.
