Abstract
Increased intracranial pressure of not longer than 6 weeks duration causes an eosinopenia, Na retention and a considerable elevation of steroid excretion. When intracranial hypertension continues for longer than 6 weeks, no pathological changes in the Na, K, and steroid excretion are found. When the intracranial hypertension reaches an excessive degree after a chronic course, the steroid excretion and the K Na-ratio are significantly diminished far below the normal range.Keywords
