title: Intracranial pressure measurements in the newborn.
abstract: This article describes four techniques for the noninvasive measurement of intracranial pressure in the newborn, and discusses common pitfalls in their use, and various pathologic states (for example, intraventricular hemorrhage, perinatal asphyxia, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, and bacterial meningitis) in which measurements of ICP have been demonstrated to be or are likely to be of value.
