title: [Our evaluation of clinical usefulness of continuous extradural measurement of intracranial pressure in patients with cranio-cerebral injuries].
abstract: Continuous measurements of intracranial, pressure were conducted by the extradural method in 40 patients with various types of skull trauma. A correlation was demonstrated between the value of this pressure and the clinical condition of the patient only with high values of the pressure, in which nearly always wave-like pressure changes were observed. The occurrence of wave-like changes was a more reliable sign of threatening cranial hypertension than the value of intracranial pressure. Continuous measurement of pressure during intravenous administration of glycerol demonstrated that a significant fall of pressure preceded the regression of clinical signs of intracranial hypertension.
