A discussion on the clinical value of telemetric measurements of intracranial pressure is presented. The technical improvements of an earlier described implantable epidural transducer are reported. Furthermore, the results are given of an in vivo study in dogs of the relation between epidural pressure as measured by this device and ventricular fluid pressure for variable physiologic conditions. An evaluation of the implantation technique is included and a justification for the selection of the constituting materials is given. Clinical results obtained in a patient are illustrated.
