Abstract

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is a pathological condition in which the pressure inside the skull increases, significantly affecting brain function. The main causes of this condition include hydrocephalus, brain tumors, head trauma, and intracranial hemorrhages. The diagnosis of increased intracranial pressure is carried out through clinical examinations and modern imaging techniques such as CT and MRI. Treatment involves diuretics, surgical interventions, and supportive therapies. This article analyzes the various causes of intracranial pressure, its pathophysiological mechanisms, and modern treatment approaches.
