intracranial pressure

Pressure within the rigid brain-case. Raised ICP is a medical emergency. The symptoms are headache, vomiting, visual disturbance and a deteriorating level of consciousness. It may be due to an increase in volume of the brain itself (brain swelling), of its blood supply or of the cerebrospinal fluid; or it may be caused by the appearance of a space-occupying mass, such as a tumour or an abscess.
