The inner ear as a window to the brain: Probing intracranial pressure with vestibular function

Projektnummer

0058405

Zusammenfassung

Intracranial pressure (ICP) is an important physiological parameter for several diseases and can be measured reliably only by invasively accessing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space. This project explores a new way of non-invasively and rapidly measuring ICP based on ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. If successful, a device will be developed that can measure ICP within seconds and obviate the need for invasive lumbar punctures.
