Normal ICP Is The Pressure Exerted by The Following Three Components CSF, Blood, Brain

Normal ICP is exerted by CSF, blood, and bone. Normal ICP ranges from 0-15 mm Hg. A rise in ICP will compromise cerebral perfusion pressure. Cerebral perfusion pressure is equal to mean arterial pressure minus intracranial pressure and should range from 70-100 mm Hg. Vasogenic edema interrupts the blood brain barrier and is characterized by periventricular diffusion of CSF and intracellular swelling of neurons. Early signs of increased ICP include dilated pupil and papilledema. The best position to maintain optimum ICP is neutral head position.
