An intracranial pressure (ICP) within a patient's skull can be determined by observing a vessel in the patient's eye, desirably in the red and/or infrared (IR) spectrum, while causing the pressure inside the eye to increase. On or about the time the observed vessel collapses in response to increasing the pressure inside the eye, the pressure inside the eye is determined. The ICP can then be determined as a function of the pressure inside the eye. Desirably, the vessel being observed is the central retinal vein of the eye.
Une pression intracrânienne d'un patient peut être déterminée par observation d'un vaisseau dans l'oeil du patient, de préférence dans le spectre du rouge et/ou de l'infrarouge (IR), tandis que la pression intraoculaire est augmentée. Lorsque le vaisseau observé est comprimé sous l'effet de l'augmentation de la pression intraoculaire, ladite pression intraoculaire est déterminée. La pression intracrânienne peut alors être déterminée comme fonction de la pression intraoculaire. Le vaisseau observé est de préférence la veine rétinienne centrale.
