- The Monro-Kellie doc
states that the 3 compon

- Normal ICP – 5-15mmHg
- Cerebral Perfusion Pre

, Intracranial Pressure (ICP)
• is the pressure exerted by fluids such as cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF) within the skull and on the brain tissue.
Significance: Maintaining normal ICP is crucial for adequa
brain function and perfusion.
Causes:
• Trauma: Head injury, hematomas (subdural, epidur
• Medical Conditions: Brain tumors, hydrocephalus,
infections (meningitis, encephalitis)
• Other Causes: Stroke, aneurysm, severe hypertens
high altitude.
