Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is seen in head trauma[1], [1] hydrocephalus[2], [2] intracranial hemorrhage, sub-arachnoid hemorrhage from ruptured brain aneurysm, intracranial tumors, [3] hepatic encephalopathy[3], [4] and cerebral edema. [5] Intractable elevated ICP can lead to death or devastating neurological damage either by reducing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) [6] and causing cerebral ischemia or by compressing and causing herniation of the brainstem or other vital structures. Prompt recognition is crucial in order to intervene appropriately.

Intractable high ICP is the most common "terminal event" leading to death in neurosurgical patients. [7] The association between the severity of intracranial hypertension and poor outcome after severe head injury is well recognized. [6] Outcomes tend to be good in patients with normal ICP, whe...
