Spinal epidural pressure as a less-invasive monitoring of intracranial pressure: report of two cases of encephalitis
Search this article
Description
We often experience an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) in patients with encephalitis. For ICP monitoring in patients with head trauma and following neurosurgery, cerebrospinal fluid pressure of the ventricle or cerebral epidural pressure is often measured. These invasive methods are not suitable for patients with encephalitis. Previous studies have demonstrated that the ICP is reflected in the spinal epidural pressure [1,2]. We monitored spinal epidural pressure through an epidural catheter at the cervical level in two patients with encephalitis, and compared it with cerebrospinal fluid pressure measured with a conventional lumbar puncture method.
