How Do You Study Intracranial Pressure In Humans?
• Define intracranial pressure. Intracranial pressure can be high or low. Low intracranial pressure can be caused due to low volume of the cerebrospinal fluid inside the ventricles. This can happen due to a leakage of the cerebrospinal fluid from the ventricles through the meningeal membrane. • Study the causes of intracranial pressure. Other causes of low intracranial pressure besides leakage include surgery, which can break the integrity of the ventricular walls. In addition, it can occur as a result of lumbar puncture of the spinal cord for withdrawing some amount of the cerebrospinal fluid for examination of a neurological disease. The clinical picture of low intracranial pressure is a headache with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea. • Intracranial pressure can be due to a tumor in the choroid plexus of the ventricles which is a rare condition This tumor can obstruct the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid between the ventricles. Congenital obstruction to the foramina between the ventricl
