Intracranial Hypertension

Intracranial hypertension (ICH) occurs when there is an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) and is a common pathway for all acute neurological insults. ICH is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in such patients [1, 2], with a clear association between the severity of ICH and poor outcomes [3]. ICH may be caused by a primary disorder of the central nervous system or may be secondary to other systemic disorders.
