Intracranial pressure within a developing intracerebral haemorrhage.
We report the time course of intracranial pressure within a developing intracerebral haemorrhage. Simultaneous readings of intracranial pressure were obtained from a contralateral parenchymal monitor and ventricular fluid pressure monitor. This recording demonstrates the existence of large pressure gradients in patients with expanding mass lesions.
