Terms Related to ICP (Intracranial Pressure) Elevation

• Intracranial Pressure

  Pressure within the cranial cavity. It is influenced by brain mass, the circulatory system, CSF dynamics, and skull rigidity.

• Spinal Fluid Pressure

  Manometric pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid as measured by lumbar, cerebroventricular, or cisternal puncture. Within the cranial cavity it is called INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE.

• Increased Intracranial Pressure Associated Papilledema

  Swelling of the OPTIC DISK, usually in association with increased intracranial pressure, characterized by hyperemia, blurring of the disk margins, microhemorrhages, blind spot enlargement, and ...

• Lateral Sinus Thrombophlebitis

  Infectious or noninfectious thrombosis of the lateral sinus of the brain. Septic thrombosis may be associated with OTITIS MEDIA or MASTOIDITIS. CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; BRAIN NEOPLASMS; ...

• Cerebrospinal Fluid Pressure
