The pressure exerted by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is present inside the skull, on the brain is called intracranial pressure. When this pressure is more than 15 mmHg, it is called intracranial hypertension. High intracranial hypertension symptoms are headache, nausea, high blood pressure, double vision, shallow breathing, coma, and loss of consciousness.
Decorticate Posturing: An Overview
Decorticate posture is a neurological condition characterized by abnormal positioning in which the legs extend and become rigid, and arms flex towards the chest.
Craniectomy - Surgical Procedure and Clinical Outcomes
Craniectomy is performed to relieve the increased intracranial pressure. Read below to learn more.
Advanced Imaging Techniques for Diagnosing Intracranial Hypotension
Intracranial hypotension (IH) is rare, with headache as its most pressing symptom. The lowered cerebrospinal fluid pressure is said to be the culprit here.
Radiological Assessment of Intracranial Hypotension
MRI and CT myelography identify brain sagging and fluid collections, aiding intracranial hypotension diagnosis and treatment decisions.
