title: Correlation between computed tomography and intracranial pressure monitoring in acute head trauma patients.
abstract: A preliminary retrospective correlation between computed tomographic scans and intracranial pressure (ICP) monitored was performed for 21 patients. No patient with a normal CT scan had elevated ICP. The lowest correlation was noted with slit ventricles; the highest, with dilatation of the contralateral temporal horn.
