INCREASED INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE(ICP)
SUMARRIZED NOTES NEW 2024-25
The brain, tightly enclosed in the solid bony cranium, is well protected but highly
vulnerable to pressure that may accumulate within the enclosure. Its total
volume—brain (80%), CSF (10%), and blood(10%)—must remain
approximately the same at all times.
The Causes:
An increase in ICP may be caused by tumors or other space-occupying lesions,
accumulation of fluid within the ventricular system, bleeding, or edema of
cerebral tissues
The early signs and symptoms
Headache, vomiting, personality changes, irritability, and fatigue.
