Intracranial pressure and MRI indicators of intracranial hypertension in veterinary medicine

In this journal club webinar, Dr John Rossmeisl, Professor of neurology/neurosurgery at Virginia-Maryland, College of Veterinary Medicine discusses his article on the comparison between direct measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) and presumptive clinical and MRI indicators of intracranial hypertension (ICH) in dogs with brain tumors.

The objectives of this study were to: (a) evaluate the feasibility of direct ICP monitoring with a catheter strain-gauge microsensor transducer in dogs with brain tumors, (b) determine if direct ICP values were different between dogs with brain tumors and controls, and (c) determine if indirect MRI or clinical measures of presumed ICH could discriminate dogs with and without ICH.
