The relationship between intracranial pressure and CT images was investigated in 80 cases of cerebral hemorrhage that occurred between 1984 and 1990. In traumatic intracerebral hematoma, positive correlation was found between intracranial pressure and both shift of midline structures and volume of hematoma except in the occipital lobe or at the base of the frontal lobe. In nontraumatic intracerebral hematoma, increased intracranial pressure was found to correlate with changes in the configuration of the lateral ventricles, intraventricular hemorrhage, and compression of the basal cisterns and cortical sulci. No correlation between intracranial pressure and hematoma volume was observed, most likely due to the number of elderly patients in the subject population. In nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, positive correlation existed between increased intracranial pressure and intraventricular hemorrhage as well as Evans' ratio calculated using repeat CT images that were obtained due to disturbances in cerebrospinal fluid circulation. These results suggest that the degree by which intracranial pressure increases in patients with cerebral hemorrhage can be estimated by the changes in CT images.

Machine learning approach for noninvasive intracranial pressure estimation using pulsatile cranial expansion waveforms.

Noninvasive methods for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring have emerged, but none has successfully replaced invasive techniques. This observational study developed and tested a machine learning (ML) model to estimate ICP using waveforms from a cranial extensometer device (brain4care [B4C] System). The model explored multiple waveform parameters to optimize mean ICP estimation.

Objective: To investigate the risk factors and their diagnostic efficacy for postoperative intestinal mucosal barrier dysfunction (IBD) following severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).
Methods: There were 140 patients with sTBI enrolled in this study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between the clinical data and postoperative IBD in sTBI patients and determine the independent risk factors.
Characterization of RAP Signal Patterns, Temporal Relationships, and Artifact Profiles Derived from Intracranial Pressure Sensors in Acute Traumatic Neural Injury.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Price Faculty of Engineering, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2, Canada.
Goal: Current methodologies for assessing cerebral compliance using pressure sensor technologies are prone to errors and issues with inter- and intra-observer consistency. RAP, a metric for measuring intracranial compensatory reserve (and therefore compliance), holds promise. It is derived using the moving correlation between intracranial pressure (ICP) and the pulse amplitude of ICP (AMP).

Department of Neurosurgery, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark.
Purpose: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is in most studies considered essential in avoiding secondary brain injury in patients with intracranial pathologies. Invasive monitoring of ICP is accurate but is unavailable in many clinical and prehospital settings. Non-invasive modalities have historically been difficult to implement clinically.

Background/objectives: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disease which threatens vision and causes disabling headaches, affecting women of childbearing age with obesity. It is characterised by raised intracranial pressure (ICP), measured invasively either with lumbar punctures or intracranially-inserted monitors. There is an unmet clinical need to develop non-invasive means to assess ICP.
