Intracranial Hemorrhage and Intracranial Hypertension

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2019
Central nervous system hemorrhage has multiple pathophysiologic etiologies, including intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Given the nuances intrinsic to each of these etiologies and pathophysiologic processes, optimal blood pressure varies significantly and depends on type of hemorrhage and ...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension

The Lancet Neurology, 2006
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is common in obese women and can lead to significant visual impairment. First described more than 100 years ago, the cause of the disorder remains unknown. Despite a multitude of proposed links, the aetiology has never been established.

Intracranial Hypotension and Intracranial Hypertension

Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2010
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure within the intracranial space. Intracranial hypotension is a clinical syndrome in which low cerebrospinal fluid volume (CSF) results in orthostatic headache. Severe cases can result in nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and, rarely, decreased level of consciousness and coma. CSF opening pressure can be within the

Doxycycline and intracranial hypertension

Neurology, 2004
The authors report seven patients from six neuro-ophthalmology referral centers who developed pseudo-tumor cerebri during treatment with doxycycline. All four female patients and one of three male patients were obese. Vision was minimally affected in most patients, but two had substantial visual acuity or visual field loss at presentation ...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2002
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), also known as pseudotumor cerebri, can be a serious vision-threatening disease. Visual acuity, visual fields, and ocular fundus appearance should be followed closely in all patients with IIH. Obese patients with IIH should be encouraged to lose weight.

Management of Intracranial Hypertension

Critical Care Clinics, 2006
Effective treatment of intracranial hypertension involves meticulous avoidance of factors that precipitate or aggravate increased intracranial pressure. When intracranial pressure becomes elevated, it is important to rule out new mass lesions that should be surgically evacuated.

Management of intracranial hypertension

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2009
Raised intracranial pressure (ICP) is a life threatening condition that is common to many neurological and non-neurological illnesses. Unless recognized and treated early it may cause secondary brain injury due to reduced cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), and progress to brain herniation and death.

BENIGN INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION

Australian Journal of Opthalmology, 1983
AbstractBenign intracranial hypertension is caused by defective cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) absorption which may sometimes be secondary to partial superior sagittal sinus obstruction. It may appear in obese young women for obscure hormonal reasons or may be a reaction to head injury, infections or certain medications.

Paroxysmal intracranial hypertension

European Journal of Neurology, 2005
We present the case of a man who presented with headache and severe papilloedema which was caused not by chronic intracranial hypertension but by paroxysms of raised intracranial pressure, and we speculate what relationship this disorder has to idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
