Normal intracranial pressure

Normal intracranial pressure is usually 70-200mmH?O (millimeter water column).

Normal intracranial pressure can ensure good blood perfusion of brain tissue, provide sufficient oxygen and nutrients for brain cells, and ensure normal metabolism and physiological functions of brain, such as thinking, perception, motor control, etc. Appropriate intracranial pressure helps normal circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in ventricles, subarachnoid space, etc., thus buffer and protect the brain, and also help transport metabolites.

Intracranial pressure is not fixed and can be affected by many factors, such as blood pressure, respiration, body temperature, etc. When the physiological state of the whole body changes, intracranial pressure will fluctuate within a certain range to maintain balance.

Normal intracranial pressure is an important guarantee for brain health, and its stability plays an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions and quality of life of the human body. once abnormal intracranial pressure occurs, it may cause a series of serious neurological problems, which need timely diagnosis and treatment.
