- Normal ICP: <10-15 mmHg, varies w/ age, position, straining, & coughing
ICP & intracranial volume
- Brain parenchyma: 1400 ml (80% total, 10% solid, 70% tissue water)
- CBV: 150 ml (10% total)
- CSF: 150 ml (10% total) (tot. ~1700 ml)
Monro-Kellie doctrine:
- ↑ in vol. of one intracranial compartment → ↑ ICP unless offset by ↓ vol. in another compartment
- Brain parenchyma predominantly incompressible fluid, CBV & CSF key in buffering additional intracranial volume by ↑ venous outflow/↓ CBF, displacing/↓ intracranial CSF
- Infants have extra volume compensation w/ open fontanelle
- Pathologic processes can easily ↑ ICP by exceeding compensatory capacity due to small size of CBV & CSF compartments
Davson equation
ICP = If * Rout - PSS
- resistance to cerebrospinal fluid outflow (Rout)
- formation of cerebrospinal fluid (If)
- sagittal sinus pressure (PSS)
