Abstract
The accuracy of estimating intracranial pressure in brain tissue (ICPBT) via lumbar space was investigated using preset pressure levels in the interval 0 to 600 mm H2O in patients with communicating hydrocephalus. Lumbar space ICP correlated excellently to ICPBT, demonstrated by a measured mean difference of 10 mm H2O (0.75 mm Hg) and a regression coefficient of 0.98. The concurrence supports the lumbar puncture as an accurate technique to determine ICP in patients with communicating CSF systems.Keywords
