increased intracranial pressure - increased pressure in brain Definition for increased intracranial pressure Intracranial pressure, (ICP), is the pressure exerted by the cranium on the brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the brain's circulating blood volume. more Intracranial pressure, (ICP), is the pressure exerted by the cranium on the brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the brain's circulating blood volume. ICP is a dynamic phenomenon constantly fluctuating in response to activities such as exercise, coughing, straining, arterial pulsation, and respiratory cycle. ICP is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and, at rest, is normally less than 10-15 mmHg. Changes in ICP are attributed to volume changes in one or more of the constituents contained in the cranium. less some common symptoms convulsions headache passing out vomiting some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 355 diagnoses alcoholism intracranial tumor encephalitis subdural hematoma delirium tremens migraine intracranial arteriovenous malformations   more do i have 'increased intracranial pressure'?
