Pupillary Abnormalities, Elevated Intracranial Pressure and Mass Lesion LocationChanges in the size and reactivity of the pupils are among the classic findings in patients suffering from intracranial catastrophes. Observations regarding the pupils were made in antiquity and the importance of such changes ...
A lumbar puncture is a procedure to check the pressure inside your skull. A needle is inserted in your back and into the spinal canal. CSF may be collected and sent to a lab for tests. Healthcare providers may also drain CSF to relieve pressure and ease your headache. Drugs...
The presence of low or fluctuating blood pressure was associated with a significantly higher mortality than in the rest of the group. Bilateral reacting pupils or an improvement in level of consciousness following decompressive surgery carried a more favourable prognosis. There was 100% fatality if ...

The hierarchy of Marshall class is based on theabsence/presence of signs of raised intracranial pressure, such as brain swelling,midline shift and mass lesions which need neurosurgiucal evacuation. This is very likelyto determine an unfavorable outcome in the long term, but this is not always ...
