Increased intracranial pressure

Intracranial pressure in normal adults is 0.8 to 1.8 kPa, and in children it is 0.5 to 1 kPa. Increased intracranial pressure refers to a series of clinical manifestations when the content of the cranial cavity on the wall of the cranial cavity exceeds the normal range, that is, when the patient undergoes a lumbar puncture in the lateral position and the hydrostatic pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid exceeds 2 kPa. Cranial hypertension is not only a very common syndrome in neurosurgery, it is also often encountered in other departments.
