To ascertain the critical thresholds of intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) for cerebral circulation and brain function, the extra- and intracranial haemodynamics and electrical brain responses were evaluated noninvasively with Doppler ultrasonography and multimodality evoked potentials (MEP's) in 50 patients with severe head injury. Both extra- and intracranial blood flow velocities changed monotonically depending on the changes in ICP and CPP. They were decreased when ICP increased to 20-30 mmHg and when CPP decreased to 40-50 mmHg. The changes in elasticity index of the pulse wave of the common carotid artery was proportional to those of blood flow velocities. The frequency and degree of abnormalities of MEP's were proportionally increased with the rise of ICP and reduction of CPP. When ICP increased to higher than 31 mmHg, MEP's were classified as moderately or severely abnormal in more than 76% of the recordings. These results indicate that noninvasive study by use of Doppler ultrasonography and MEP's can provide valuable information on critical brain ischaemia and brain dysfunction in patients with acute intracranial hypertension.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
