Posterior Fossa Intracranial Pressure (ICP) Measurement: Clinical Study

In modern medicine, doctors attempt to monitor all physiological variables to assess their evolution and to decide, based on their changes, the therapeutic attitudes to adopt. Furthermore, this helps to establish a forecast of the evolution to be expected. The measurement of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) has become indispensable for managing brain pathology at the anterior and middle fossa level. Doctors generally carry out this measurement at the frontal level. However, experimental and clinical studies have shown that supra-tentorial ICP measurement does not precisely predict the ICP situation in the posterior fossa. The increased ICP in the posterior fossa is directly responsible for the clinical deterioration and eventual death in patients with tumour, hemorrhagic, or ischemic pathology of the posterior fossa structures. Some of these lesions are treatable, and their effects reversib
