The role of pulsatile and static intracranial pressure measurements in the management of children with craniosynostosis-an institutional experience from 49 patients.

In this cohort of pediatric patients with CSS presenting with various diagnostic challenges, we found the diagnostic measurement of static and pulsatile ICP useful in selecting the optimal treatment modality and timing of surgery. Papilledema was associated with elevated pulsatile ICP, a parameter that in previous studies has been shown to correlate with impaired intracranial compliance.
