Objectives: n n To learn what are the basics of ICP. What things that form ICP inside the brain. How you lower ICP. How you can identify raised ICP. 428 surgery team 2 ICP: Intra-Cranial Pressure
Basics n Components of cranium n Normal components: n n n Brain CSF Blood 1400 ml 75 -100 ml 75 ml Abnormal components: n Tumors n hematoma Monro-Kellie Doctrine n n These contents are incompressible Therefore, change in volume of the brain is associated with change in CSF or blood volume 428 surgery team 3
Pressure-Volume n Increase in volume in one compartment leads to change in volume in the other ones. n n E. g. brain tumor ---> CSF volume then blood volume For how long could this go on? actually, it differs from one person to another, e. g. if a small benign brain tumor starts growing and then reaches a phase of growing that the brain can’t tolerate or accommodate “but some brains can”. 428 surgery team 4
v. imp n n n As much we increase the volume, the pressure will increase. First, a little increase in pressure with a little increase in volume. Then, with the same increase in volume there was a huge increase in pressure. “an increase in the volume a little bit can take the curve over” n n This is the characteristics of brain>> within a few minutes everything can change. Pt. will came with headache and vomiting and within a small increase in the volume the pressure was not tolerated and he had to go to emergency craniotomy.

Can somebody walk around with a raised ICP? Yes, most pts. with brain tumors they came walking to the hospital 428 surgery team 6
Raised ICP and brain shift A. B. C. D. E. Cingulate herniation Uncal herniation Central herniation Outside herniation Tonsillar herniation Herniations in the brain: the brain is actually under so much pressure and it will go to least resistance part in the brain. 428 surgery team 7
From the previous slide n Uncal herniation: uncus is the most medial part of the temporal lobe so, it’s the part that is going to herniate most common clinically seen n n Central herniation: a hematoma or mass compressing the upper part, it pushes the whole brain down through the tentorial opening. Tonsillar herniation: if there is massive increase in the ICP especially that around the cerebellum, the tonsil will come down to the foramen magnum and then it compresses the lower medulla where the centre of respiration is there and 8 the pt will stop breathing. This type is fatal
ICP waveform It’s the same as the heart waveform and it gives the brain 9 pulsation and this pulsation is what 428 surgery team forms your ICP.
Normal ICP Raised ICP Laurence T Dunn, J neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry, 2002 428 surgery team 10
n Cerebral autoregulation n Ability of cerebral vessels to maintain cerebral perfusion within strictly determined limits n n n Rise in SBP ----> Constriction of cerebral arteries Low SBP ----> cerebral vessels dilate to accommodate Loss of autoreglation: Change in cerebral blood flow with the change in BP 428 surgery team 11
Cerebral Autoregulation Raised ICP Laurence T Dunn, J neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry, 428 surgery team 12 2002
BP and CBF n If ICP goes up, how does the brain get perfusion? n n n Process of autoregulation CPP = MAP – ICP “v. imp” If: n n n MAP=85 mm. Hg ICP=15 mm. Hg CPP ? CPP: Cerebral Perfusion Pressure 428 surgery team MAP: Mean Arterial Pressure 13
n CPP 50 -140 mm. Hg 428 surgery team 14
n 20 year old man. Had car accident (MVC) as unrestrained driver. He presented with BP 75/30, HR 125 bpm. Unconscious, with right hemiplegia. What is going on? Another possibility is the patient has hematoma in the brain that’s why he is with hemiplegia and he is bleeding somewhere in the body and because of that he is hypotensive and unconscious and he has high HR How we deal with him in the emergency ? ABC >> fluid >> C. T to know why he is unconscious 428 surgery team 15
Possible Causes n VITAMEN D is vitamin D deficiency is a possible cause of raised ICP? ? NO, it an abbreviation of Vascular, Infection, Trauma, Autoimmune, Metabolic, Endocrine, Neoplastic, Drugs. . n Other: 428 surgery team 16
Clinical Presentation of raised ICP n Headache, vomiting, papilloedema n Headache n n V. imp Early morning Throbbing / Bursting sneezing, coughing Papilleodema n n Reliable but may take several days “happened only with chronic problems like with growing brain tumor” Associated fundal hge indicates acute and severe rise in ICP 428 surgery team 17

GCS “very imp to asses the severity of coma” The patient takes 6 even he is with hemiplagia Decreased Level of Consciousness It’s a coma score not a weakness score. 428 surgery team 19
n n n When it comes to head injury there a classification of GCS: Mild GCS= 13 – 15 Moderate GCS= 9 – 12 Severe GCS= 3 – 8 The lowest number in GCS is 3 and the highest number is 15 428 surgery team 20

n If there is a mass compressing the 3 rd nerve So, ipsilateral pupil dilation and compression on the brain stem will give you contralateral hemiplasia ”weakness”. missinglink. ucsf. edu/. . . / Tentorial. Notch. Blum. jpg 428 surgery team 24
Trans-tentorial herniation: - Ipsilateral dilated pupil - Contra-lateral weakness 428 surgery team 25
Tonsillar herniation missinglink. ucsf. edu/. . . / tonsillar%20 hern-2 a. jpg 428 surgery team 26
False localization n Kernohan’s notch Simply, when there is a huge growing right side hematoma it will push the whole brain stem to the opposite side and that may cause ipsilateral weakness and contra-lateral dilated pupil 428 surgery team 27
n Systemic: n Raised BP (recall: CPP=MAP-ICP) n Respiratory change: n Cheyne-Stokes breathing: n n Oscillating periods of apnea-tachypnea Respiratory centers compromise 428 surgery team 28
Raised ICP in infants results in: n n Widened sutures Increased Head circumference Dilated head veins “Sun set” eyes “his eyes always looking down” 428 surgery team 29
428 surgery team 30
Investigations n n URGENT CT head NO Lumbar Puncture until you do at least the CT 428 surgery team 31
What is the treatment of high ICP? n General measures: n n n n Head elevation (30 degrees) No neck compression Mannitol for patients who have decreased LOC (or Furosemide) Steroids (Dexamethazone) for tumors Hyperventilation: controlled to PCO 2 35 -40 mm. Hg Sedation, muscle relaxants Hypothermia Barbiturates: terminal option 428 surgery team LOC: 32 Level Of Consciousness
What is the treatment of high ICP? n Specific treatment: n Depends on the cause n VITAMEN D remember stands for what? 428 surgery team 33
