title: [Post-traumatic intracranial pressure crisis in childhood].
abstract: The author in his present paper discusses traumatic cerebral pressure crises with particular reference to the aggregate of symptoms involved, the therapy to be employed, and the results of treatment obtained. So far as measurements of the pressure of liquor are concerned, single measurements were found to yield reliable values in rare cases only. On the other hand, the value of the pressure of liquor, when used in combination with the arterial systemic pressure, permits to roughly determine the cerebral perfusion pressure and build a suitable therapy thereon. Hyperventilation therapy, the use of which is strongly recommended here, has proved a very important addition to cerebral pressure treatment.
