title: [Intracranial pressure in severe brain injuries. 1st Part: X-ray computed tomography of cerebrospinal fluids and manometry].
abstract: In a series of 40 patients with severe head injury (L.C.S. less than or equal to 12), we simultaneously studied the variations of intracranial pressure (I.C.P.) and cerebrospinal fluid (C.S.F.) spaces (ventricular and subarachnoidal) on C.T.-scan. At the time of C.T.-scan, normal C.S.F. spaces mean a normal I.C.P. (less than 15 torr) but cannot preclude a secondary intracranial hypertension. With a collapse of the C.S.F. spaces, it is to be geared that a severe hypertension occurs (greater than 40 torr).
