Increased intracranial pressure is a frequent complication of head injuries. Direct measurement of intracranial pressure is now possible; it is a useful guide to therapy and allows detection of pressure under circumstances where clinical examination is unreliable or when increased intracranial pressure is unexpected. It is also useful in monitoring the efficacy of treatment by such agents as mannitol. Measurements of cerebral blood flow are still at an investigative stage but the accumulating valuable data have influenced the treatment of head injuries.
颅内压升高是头部损伤常见的并发症。目前已经能够直接测量颅内压；这对治疗有很大的指导作用，并且在临床检查不可靠或颅内压升高出乎意料的情况下，能检测到颅内压。它在监测诸如甘露醇等药物的治疗效果方面也很有用。脑血流量的测量仍处于研究阶段，但积累的宝贵数据已经对头部损伤的治疗产生了影响。
