The Beaten Copper Cranium: A Correlation between Intracranial Pressure, Cranial Radiographs, and Computed Tomographic Scans in Children with Craniosynostosis

Abstract

Although this study demonstrates that some cranial radiographic and computed tomographic findings do correlate with elevated ICP, the sensitivity of radiological methods for detecting elevated ICP is universally low and they are not recommended to screen for elevated ICP in children with craniosynostosis.
