Front 6

What happens when intracranial pressure rises and what causes the rise?

Back 6

As ICP rises, the amount of blood available to the brain decreases. Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP), the pressure of blood within the cranial vault, then begins to fall.

The rise can be cause by coughing vomiting, and bearing down, for example. However blood, swelling, pus, or a tumor within the cranial vault will significantly raise ICP.
