OBJECTIVES Current published normal values for intracranial pressure (ICP) are extrapolated from lumbar CSF pressure measurements and ICP measurements in patients treated for CSF pressure disorders. There is an emerging agreement that true normal ICP values are needed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. This study documents normal ICP in humans. METHODS In this study the authors included adult patients scheduled for complete removal of a solitary, clearly demarcated, small brain tumor…

Long-Term Effect of Decompressive Craniectomy on Intracranial Pressure and Possible Implications for Intracranial Fluid Movements.
TLDR
Following NICU discharge, ICP decreases to negative values within 4 wk, normal postural ICP regulation is lost and intracranial PWA is diminished significantly.
Evaluation of Intracranial Pressure in Different Body Postures and Disease Entities.
TLDR
Preliminary results from 19 patients were able to statistically distinguish between patient groups and assumed body postures, highlighting the need for the further characterization of the effects of postural changes on ICP to inform diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
Changing the paradigm of intracranial hypertension in brain tumor patients: a study based on non-invasive ICP measurements
TLDR
It is demonstrated that ICP in patients with intracranial tumors and mass effect is not necessarily increased, therefore, clinical signs of intrac Cranial hypertension do not necessarily reflect increased ICP.
Intracranial pressure before and after cranioplasty: insights into intracranial physiology.
TLDR
Cranioplasty restores normal intracranial physiology regarding postural ICP changes and intrACranial PWA and complement those of previous investigations on cerebral blood flow and cerebral metabolism in patients after decompressive craniectomy.
Telemetric intracranial pressure monitoring in children
TLDR
It is found that telemetric ICP monitoring aids the clinical management of patients with complex CSF disorders and improves everyday life for both patient and parents.
Intraparenchymal intracranial pressure monitoring for hydrocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid disorders
TLDR
This retrospective study analyzes median ICP and pulse amplitude recordings in neurosurgically naïve patients undergoing elective ICP monitoring for suspected CSF disorders to provide insights into hydrodynamic disturbances in different diagnostic groups of patients with CSF hydrod dynamic disorders.
The Relationship Between Intracranial Pressure and Age-Chasing Age-Related Reference Values.
Single center experiences with telemetric intracranial pressure measurements in patients with CSF circulation disturbances
TLDR
Telemetric intracranial pressure measurements seems to be a promising tool to improve clinical management of shunted patients with complex hydrocephalus and the two available systems will need further technical improvements, concerning implantation time, measurements, and data analysis in order to optimize handling and interpretation of the data.
Effect of postural changes on ICP in healthy and ill subjects
TLDR
Differences in ICP between body postures enabled us to distinguish the normal group from patient groups, and normal patients appear able to more tightly regulate ICP when switching body posture.
Monitoring and Measurement of Intracranial Pressure in Pediatric Head Trauma
TLDR
The quality of evidence behind ICP monitoring and treatment thresholds in severe pediatric TBI is low and treatment can potentially be improved by knowledge about normal ICP from observational studies in healthy children and cohorts of pediatric “pseudonormal” patients expected to havenormal ICP.

Intracranial pressure and cerebrospinal fluid outflow conductance in healthy subjects.
TLDR
The lower normal limit for Cout has been estimated from the effect of shunting in patients with normal-pressure hydrocephalus, from patients retrospectively reevaluated after recovering from illness, and from patients with known abnormalities in the brain or the CSF system.
First Clinical Results With a New Telemetric Intracranial Pressure-Monitoring System
TLDR
The first clinical experiences with a new telemetric ICP-monitoring device are described, and the authors consider the new system extremely advantageous in surgical decision making in particularly difficult cases of suspected abnormalities of ICP.
Assessment of intracranial pressure volume relationships in childhood: the lumbar infusion test versus intracranial pressure monitoring
TLDR
Comparing the results of two tests that are widely used to assess intracranial pressure–volume relationships in children found no significant correlation between Rout and mean ICP asleep and the calculation of Rout by the infusion test performed on children under general anesthesia gave no reliable prediction of abnormal ICP.
CSF pressure assessed by lumbar puncture agrees with intracranial pressure
TLDR
The concurrence supports the lumbar puncture as an accurate technique to determine intracranial pressure in brain tissue (ICPBT) in patients with communicating CSF systems.

TLDR
In each subject the opening pressure tended to fluctuate around a characteristic individual level; in five perfectly relaxed normal volunteers an average value of 20 cm was observed, with a maximal value of 24 cm, which had a direct relationship to the individual CSF pressure.
Quality and safety of home ICP monitoring compared with in-hospital monitoring.
TLDR
Home ICP monitoring is proposed as a feasible and safe alternative to in-hospital monitoring in select cases where the patient's caregiver - with prior meticulous instructions - can adequately observe the patient during the monitoring session.

Lundberg's B waves as a feature of normal intracranial pressure.
TLDR
A case is presented in which such waves were recorded from an apparently normal brain, in which they were said to be distinctive of low pressure hydrocephalus.
