What is intracranial pressure?
A brain injury or another medical condition can cause growing pressure inside your skull. This dangerous condition is called increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and can lead to a headache. The pressure also further injure your brain or spinal cord.
Increased ICP is well documented in moderate and severe forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to gross swelling or mass effect from bleeding. Since the brain exists within a stiff skull, increased ICP can impair cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cause secondary ischemic insult.
Treatment focuses on lowering increased intracranial pressure around the brain. Increased ICP has serious complications, including long-term (permanent) brain damage and death.
