Patient's question:
Recently, I've had severe headaches, and my lower back pain is also very intense. I often use adhesive plasters, but they don't work well. So, I had a brain CT and an MRI done. The doctor said it might be causing hydrocephalus. Then, I had a lumbar puncture to measure intracranial pressure, and the pressure was 150 mm.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the normal cerebrospinal fluid pressure is between 70-180. The above results are considered normal pressure. Hydrocephalus requires treatment based on the amount, usually surgical or conservative treatment. 180 mmHg indicates intracranial hypertension, which typically presents with symptoms such as headache, vomiting, and papilledema. It is recommended that you pay more attention to rest and avoid overexertion.
