Abstract
Intracranial hypertension secondary to cold-induced edema has been considered to be mainly due to an increase of extravasated fluid (1) resulting in a rise of tissue pressure (4). However, tissue reactions initiated by the cold vary from animal to animal, so that the resultant changes in intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) can be dissimilar even when the insult is the same. Previous investigations have demonstrated a decrease of CBF without a significant increase in ICP, uncoupling between CBF and water content (4) and an increase in CBF (2, 4). These differences may be partly related to individual vasomotor reactivity (5). In this communication, trends in ICP following cold injury were assessed in terms of cerebral vascular tone.
