摘要
The authors presented the experiences of diagnosis and clinical management in 164 patients with nonSpace-occupying intracranial hypertension. Head trauma, viral or bacterial infection seemed to be the commonestcauses of the disease ( 86. %) , and the other 14%were due to the endocrine dysfunction , subarachnoid hemorrhage or anemia in this group. All of the patients showed clinical features of increased intracranial pressure andophthalmic symptoms such as visual blurring and papilloedema. The treatment measures for these patients includ-ed the administration of corticosteroids and osmolar loads , and repeated lumbar punctures , continuous ventriculardrainages or subtemporal decompressions , etc. As the results , 103 patients ( 62. 8%)had a satisfactory recovery,in which their headache relieved , other symptoms abolished, and the ICP reached normal level. Thirty-five cases(21. 3%) had obvious improvement in their symptoms and signs , and no patient died in our series. The authorsconsidered that the early diagnosis and treatment should be given to the patients and better therapeutic effect couldbe achieved.
