AB  - Intracranial  pressure  (ICP)  =  pressure  exerted  by  the  contents  of  the  skull  on  the  dura  materNormal  ICP  varies  with  age,  body  position,  and  clinical  condition.  Normal  ICP  is  5–15  mm  Hg  in  a  supine  adult,  3–7  mm  Hg  in  children,  and  1.5–6  mm  Hg  in  term  infantsSkull  content  includes  brain  tissue  (compressible,  ˜83%  by  volume),  blood  (incompressible,  ˜6%  by  volume),  and  CSF  (incompressible,  ˜11%  by  volume).  In  the  event  of  increased  ICP,  compensation  can  occur  by  shifting  either  CSF  or  blood  out  of  the  intracranial  compartmentIntracranial  hypertension  over  a  critical  threshold  of  20  mm  Hg  is  an  independent  predictor  of  poor  neurological  outcome  after  severe  head  injury
