Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine posture-induced changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) when patients with hydrocephalus or idiopathic intracranial hypertension remained supine for 1 hour and then sat up and remained sitting for 3 hours. Continuous ICP was monitored using a fiberoptic extradural sensor in: 1) 259 patients with hydrocephalus or idiopathic intracranial hypertension with free cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow through the craniovertebral junction and Sylvian aqueduct, 2) 20 patients with hydrocephalus secondary to aqueductal stenosis with free CSF flow through the craniovertebral junction, and 3) 97 patients with hydrocephalus associated with Chiari malformation. The maximum ICP difference (DeltaICP) was calculated as the difference between mean ICP in the supine position and minimum ICP value after changing body position. The mean ICP difference (DeltaICPmean) was calculated as the difference between the mean ICP in the supine position and the mean ICP while the patient was in a sitting position. In the complete sample, the median of DeltaICP was 13 mm Hg (interquartile range 10-17). The median of DeltaICPmean was 8 mm Hg (interquartile range 5-11). Both DeltaICP and DeltaICPmean were significantly greater in p...Continue Reading
