OBJECTIVE: To explore whether calculation of resistance to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow (Rout) by the lumbar constant rate infusion test in a reliable way predicts the intracranial pressure (ICP) profile in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). METHODS: A prospective study was undertaken including 16 cases with clinical signs of normal pressure hydrocephalus that were investigated with both continuous ICP monitoring and the lumbar constant rate infusion test. Intracranial pressure monitoring was performed for about 24 h, and supplied with a simultaneous lumbar constant rate infusion test at the end of the monitoring period. The pressure recordings were analysed using the Sensometrics Pressure Analyser. Various characteristics of the pressure curves were compared. RESULTS: The continuous ICP recordings were considered as normal (mean ICP<11.5 mmHg) in all 16 cases. The lumbar infusion test showed an apparently abnormal resistance to CSF outflow (Rout) (> or =12.0 mmHg/ml/min) in 12 of 16 cases. There was no relationship between lumbar Rout and mean ICP during sleep. We could not find any relationship between lumbar Rout and number of nightly ICP elevations of 1525 mmHg lasting 0.5 or 1 min. Neither resistance to CSF outflow (Rout) nor mean ICP during sleep was related to the ventricular size. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this prospective study revealed no significant relationship between resistance to CSF outflow (Rout) and the ICP profile in NPH cases. The results also suggest that caution should be made when predicting the ICP profile on the basis of measuring the lumbar CSF pressure for a few minutes duration. 相似文献

Computed tomography in the assessment of raised intracranial pressure in non-traumatic coma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cranial computed tomography (CT) scans and invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) measurements were reviewed for 34 children with non-traumatic coma from various causes. CT scan features including focal or generalised changes in density were noted and changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces were graded and correlated with the level of maximum ICP in the first 12 hours of treatment and monitoring. Seven patients had normal findings and 27 had abnormal scans. Nineteen of the 27 patients with abnormal scans had generalised abnormalities with varying degrees of loss of CSF space. Seventeen of these 19 patients had pressures greater than 15 mmHg. The highest pressures being found in those with the greatest degree of CSF space obliteration. In the remaining 8 patients, who had focal abnormalities either within the basal ganglia or cerebral hemisphere, there was no relationship between local CSF space obliteration and the level of ICP. In the 7 patients with normal scans three had ICPs of 20 mmHg or greater in the first 12 hours of monitoring and a further two also developed an ICP of this level 13-36 hours after the initiation of monitoring. In non-traumatic coma of various causes there is an association between loss of CSF space and increased ICP. However, there were two important exceptions to this; firstly in patients with focal abnormalities either within the basal ganglia or cerebral hemisphere, in whom the loss of adjacent CSF spaces was not a good indicator of generalised raised ICP; secondly some patients with normal scans, in whom this finding did not indicate normal ICP nor ensure that it remained at this level. 相似文献

Intracerebroventricular arginine vasopressin causes intracranial pressure to rise in conscious goats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on intracranial pressure (ICP), blood pressure (BP) and plasma AVP were investigated in conscious goats. The animals were implanted with ventricular (V) and cisternal (C) cannulae under halothane anaesthesia and allowed to recover prior to experimentation. After 30 min infusion of 20 microliter/min artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) alone, to allow the animals to settle, ICP (estimated at both C and V cannulae), BP and plasma AVP were measured. Then the animals were infused with either artificial CSF alone or 1 or 10 pmol/min AVP for a further 150 min. One pmol/min AVP i.c.v. resulted in significant ICP increases of +2.2 cm CSF (C) and +3.1 cm CSF (V) when compared with artificial CSF alone. Ten pmol/min AVP also led to significant ICP rises of +3.2 cm CSF (C) and +4.2 cm CSF (V). There were no significant changes of BP or plasma AVP during the infusions. We conclude that central infusion of AVP leads to elevated ICP in conscious goats by a mechanism that does not involve BP alteration or changes in plasma AVP. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association among intracranial compliance (ICC), intracranial pulse pressure amplitude and intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with intracranial bleeds. METHODS: Five patients with intracranial bleeds had their ICC and ICP monitored during days 1-8 after ictus. The recordings were stored as raw data files and analysed retrospectively. The parameters mean ICC, mean ICP wave amplitude and mean ICP were determined and average values were calculated in 1 hour time periods. RESULTS: A total of 262 1 hour recordings were analysed. There was a significant correlation between mean ICC and mean ICP wave amplitude and between mean ICC and mean ICP. The mean ICP wave amplitude was significantly higher during the 1 hour periods with mean ICC<0.5 ml/mmHg and significantly lower during 1 hour periods with mean ICC 1.5-3.0 ml/mmHg. Correspondingly, in the 159 1 hour recordings with mean ICP wave amplitude> or =5.0 mmHg, mean ICC was significantly lower than in the 103 recordings with mean ICP wave amplitude<5.0 mmHg. Mean ICP was normal (i.e. <20 mmHg) in 260 of 262 (99.2%) of the 1 hour recordings; in the 49 1 hour recordings with mean ICP>15 mmHg, mean ICC was significantly lower than in the 213 recordings with mean ICP<15.0 mmHg. CONCLUSION: In this cohort of pressure recordings, there was a strong association between ICC and intracranial pulse pressure amplitude. There also was a strong association between ICC and mean ICP, but mean ICP was normal in 260 of 262 1 hour recordings (99.2%). 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The symptoms in idiopathic adult hydrocephalus syndrome (IAHS) are consistent with pathology involving the periventricular white matter, presumably reflecting ischaemia and CSF hydrodynamic disturbance. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether a change in intracranial pressure (ICP) can affect energy metabolism in deep white matter. METHODS: A microdialysis catheter, a brain tissue oxygen tension probe, and an ICP transducer were inserted into the periventricular white matter 0-7 mm from the right frontal horn in 10 patients with IAHS. ICP and intracerebral Ptio2 were recorded continuously during lumbar CSF constant pressure infusion test. ICP was raised to pressure levels of 35 and 45 mm Hg for 10 minutes each, after which CSF drainage was undertaken. Microdialysis samples were collected every three minutes and analysed for glucose, lactate, pyruvate, and glutamate. RESULTS: When raising the ICP, a reversible drop in the extracellular concentrations of glucose, lactate, and pyruvate was found. Comparing the values during baseline to values at the highest pressure level, the fall in glucose, lactate, and pyruvate was significant (p < 0.05, Wilcoxon sign rank). There was no change in glutamate or the lactate to pyruvate ratio during ICP elevation. Ptio2 did not decrease during ICP elevation, but was significantly increased following CSF drainage. CONCLUSIONS: Raising intracranial pressure induces an immediate and reversible change in energy metabolism in periventricular white matter, without any sign of ischaemia. Theoretically, frequent ICP peaks (B waves) over a long period could eventually cause persisting axonal disturbance and subsequently the symptoms noted in IAHS. 相似文献

The effect of intracerebroventricular infusion or injection of arginine vasopressin (AVP) was examined in awake rabbits with permanent ventricular cannulae. Intracerebroventricular infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 43 microliters min-1 containing AVP concentrations exceeding 0.4 ng ml-1, equivalent to an AVP infusion rate of 17.2 pg min-1, caused a dose-dependent increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) of 3 to 5 mmHg after 30-50 min of AVP infusion. Intracerebroventricular bolus injection of equivalent doses of AVP did not provoke changes in ICP. At the end of the experiments cisternal CSF concentrations of AVP were higher after infusion of AVP than after injection of the same amount of AVP. The mean arterial blood pressure increased slightly in the group of animals infused with AVP at rates above 17.2 pg min-1. It is concluded that intracerebroventricular infusion of AVP increases ICP in awake rabbits but the mechanism responsible for the elevation of ICP remains speculative. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the elevation of resting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure recorded after a CSF infusion test in patients with hydrocephalus. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fifty patients (30 men and 20 women, mean age 68 +/- 13 years) with ventriculomegaly and clinical symptoms of normal pressure hydrocephalus have been studied. Lumbar (56%) or intraventricular (44%) computerized infusion studies were performed to investigate the hydrodynamics of CSF. After infusion, the fall in ICP was recorded until a steady-state level was achieved and the difference between pre- and post-infusion resting ICP was calculated (DeltaICP). RESULTS: A positive difference (>2 mm Hg) between post- and pre-infusion resting ICP was identified in 31 infusion tests (62%). The mean value of the difference was 6.7 with an SD of 3.5 mm Hg. The patients who demonstrated this phenomenon had a greater elastance coefficient (p>0.05); DeltaICP was positively correlated with age (R=0.27; p=0.03), with the size of the brain's ventricles (R=0.63, p=0.03) and inversely with the severity of clinical impairment (Stein-Langfitt score R=-0.61, p=0.02; normal pressure hydrocephalus score: R=0.54; p<0.05). DeltaICP was independent of the site of infusion (lumbar or ventricular). CONCLUSION: In patients with a 'stiffer' brain, ICP returns to the resting level after the infusion test at a slightly higher level than before the test. The magnitude of this increase is greater when ventricles are more dilated and clinical symptoms are less severe. 相似文献

Continuous invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) can be used in the diagnosis and management of various types of chronic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation disorders, such as hydrocephalus, shunt dysfunction and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The risk profile and incidence of adverse events of this surgical procedure in this patient population is not well established. We aimed to investigate and describe the risks of ICP monitoring in adult patients with chronic CSF circulation disorders. We analysed 152 patients undergoing continuous ICP monitoring between 2010 and 2019, mainly for idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. The average duration of ICP monitoring was 17 h 51 min. We observed no major adverse events, such as symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, intracranial infection, or persistent neurological deficit. Minor complications were seen in 7% of patients and included accidental removal of the ICP probe in 4 patients, inability to remove the probe requiring surgical removal in 2 patients and single generalised seizures in 2 patients. In summary, the risk of serious adverse events and complications from invasive ICP monitoring in chronic CSF circulation disorders in adult patients appears to be low. 相似文献

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH) is a syndrome of headache due to raised intracranial pressure(ICP) where the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) is normal and there is no alternative pathology on imaging. The aetiology is unknown. This review questions many of the prevailing views regarding aetiology and treatment of IIH. It explores the concept that there is a vicious cycle of fluctuating raised ICP leading to secondary compression of the transverse sinuses and further elevation of ICP. It also raises the question as to whether this vicious cycle could be relieved by prolonged drainage of CSF as seen in Lumbar puncture induced low-pressure headache or alternatively a lumbar drain. 相似文献

Head-down tilt (HDT) causes a fluid shift towards the upper body, which increases intracranial pressure (ICP). In the present study, the time course of ICP changes during prolonged exposure to HDT was investigated in conscious rabbits through a catheter chronically implanted into the subarachnoid space. The production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) after exposure to 7-days HDT was also examined by a ventriculo-cisternal perfusion method. The ICP increased from 4.3+/-0.4 (mean+/-S.E.M.) mmHg to 8.0+/-0.8 mmHg immediately after the onset of 45 degrees HDT, reached a peak value of 15.8+/-1.9 mmHg at 11 h, and then decreased to 10.4+/-1.1 mmHg at 24 h. During 7-days HDT, it also increased from 4.8+/-0.9 mmHg to 9.2+/-1.6 mmHg immediately after the onset of 45 degrees HDT, reached a peak value of 12.8+/-2.5 mmHg at 12 h of HDT, and then decreased gradually towards the pre-HDT baseline value for 7 days. The rate of CSF production was 10.1+/-0.6 microl/min in rabbits exposed to 7-days HDT, and 9.7+/-0.5 microl/min in control rabbits. These results suggest that the rabbits begin to adapt to HDT within a few days and that the production of CSF is preserved after exposure to 7-days HDT. The time course of ICP changes during HDT in conscious rabbits seems to be considerably different from that in anesthetized rabbits. 相似文献

Introduction
The cerebrospinal (CSF) infusion test is used to analyze the dynamics of CSF circulation. We describe the technique and report test results obtained in subjects with normal pressure hydrocephalus.State of the art
The CSF infusion test is based on pressure monitoring during a continuous infusion of saline solution into the CSF space via a lumbar puncture. The main parameters are: intracranial pressure, resistance to CSF outflow (Rout), and compliance of the cranial enclosure estimated by the pressure-volume index. Our review of the recent literature dealing with the results of infusion test in normal pressure hydrocephalus indicates that the positive predictive value is about 80 % for Rout greater than 12 mmHg/ml per minute, i.e. shunt response is observed in 80 % of patients. The information available in the literature for assessing negative predictive value of Rout and usefulness of compliance is limited.Perspectives and conclusion
The CSF infusion test may be helpful for the diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus, as supplemental testing when the diagnosis is not certain. We propose a procedure, which includes the infusion test, for identifying shunt-responsive patients. 相似文献15.
Cerebral perfusion pressure management of severe diffuse head injury: effect on brain compliance and intracranial pressure 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Cerebral perfusion pressure management (CPPM) is an accepted modality of treatment of severe diffuse head injury (SDHI). However, CPPM has the potential to cause transcapillary exudation in the presence of a disrupted blood brain barrier and can lead to further increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) and worsening of compliance. AIMS: This study attempts to evaluate the effect of both transient and prolonged changes in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) on ICP and cerebral compliance as measured by the Pressure Volume Index (PVI), and to correlate changes in PVI with outcome at 12 months using the Glasgow Outcome Score. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Prospective study in a neurosurgical ICU. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-seven SDHI patients managed using standard protocol to maintain CPP above 70 mmHg. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), ICP and CPP were monitored every half-hour. Daily monitoring of the PVI and ICP was done before, and after the induced elevation of MAP using IV Dopamine infusion. The relationship between CPP, MAP, ICP, PVI and outcome was evaluated. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: The paired and independent samples T-test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS: CPPM rarely leads to progressive rise in ICP. Maintaining CPP above 70mmHg does not influence ICP or PVI. Transient elevations in CPP above 70mmHg may produce a small rise in ICP. Trend of change in PVI influenced outcome despite similar ICP and CPP. CONCLUSION: Elevating the CPP above 70mmHg does not either reduce the ICP or worsen the compliance. Monitoring changes in compliance should form an integral part of CPPM. 相似文献

The accuracy of estimating intracranial pressure in brain tissue (ICP(BT)) via lumbar space was investigated using preset pressure levels in the interval 0 to 600 mm H(2)O in patients with communicating hydrocephalus. Lumbar space ICP correlated excellently to ICP(BT), demonstrated by a measured mean difference of 10 mm H(2)O (0.75 mm Hg) and a regression coefficient of 0.98. The concurrence supports the lumbar puncture as an accurate technique to determine ICP in patients with communicating CSF systems. 相似文献

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is derived from cerebral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulatory dynamics and can be affected in the course of many diseases of the central nervous system. Monitoring of ICP requires an invasive transducer, although some attempts have been made to measure it non-invasively. Because of its dynamic nature, instant CSF pressure measurement using the height of a fluid column via lumbar puncture may be misleading. An averaging over 30 minutes should be the minimum, with a period of overnight monitoring in conscious patients providing the optimal standard. Computer-aided recording with online waveform analysis of ICP is very helpful. Although there is no "Class I" evidence, ICP monitoring is useful, if not essential, in head injury, poor grade subarachnoid haemorrhage, stroke, intracerebral haematoma, meningitis, acute liver failure, hydrocephalus, benign intracranial hypertension, craniosynostosis etc. Information which can be derived from ICP and its waveforms includes cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), regulation of cerebral blood flow and volume, CSF absorption capacity, brain compensatory reserve, and content of vasogenic events. Some of these parameters allow prediction of prognosis of survival following head injury and optimisation of "CPP-guided therapy". In hydrocephalus CSF dynamic tests aid diagnosis and subsequent monitoring of shunt function. 相似文献

The effect of intracerebroventricular infusion or injection of arginine vasopressin (AVP) was examined in awake rabbits with permanent ventricular cannulae. Intracerebroventricular infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 43 μl min–1 containing AVP concentrations exceeding 0.4 ng ml–1, equivalent to an AVP infusion rate of 17.2 pg min–1, caused a dose-dependent increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) of 3 to 5 mmHg after 30-50 min of AVP infusion. Intracerebroventricular bolus injection of equivalent doses of AVP did not provoke changes in ICP. At the end of the experiments cisternal CSF concentrations of AVP were higher after infusion of AVP than after injection of the same amount of AVP. The mean arterial blood pressure increased slightly in the group of animals infused with AVP at rates above 17.2 pg min–1. It is concluded that intracerebroventricular infusion of AVP increases ICP in awake rabbits but the mechanism responsible for the elevation of ICP remains speculative. 相似文献

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure within the intracranial space. Intracranial hypotension is a clinical syndrome in which low cerebrospinal fluid volume (CSF) results in orthostatic headache. Severe cases can result in nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and, rarely, decreased level of consciousness and coma. CSF opening pressure can be within the normal range in spontaneous intracranial hypotension. Imaging tests therefore play a key and decisive role in the diagnosis, as well as treatment, of intracranial hypotension. Intracranial hypertension occurs in a chronic form known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, as well as in a large variety of neurologic and systemic disorders. Symptoms include headache, nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, and in severe cases, altered level of consciousness that can progress to coma and death. Direct measurements of CSF pressure through lumbar puncture (in idiopathic intracranial hypotension) or invasive ICP monitoring (in acute intracranial hypertension) are the key diagnostic tests. Imaging is used primarily to determine treatable causes of increased ICP, to assess for impending brain herniation, and to evaluate ventricular size. 相似文献
