Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component expands, CSF and venous blood...

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...

Summary

Scuba diving can rarely cause intraorbital hematoma due to barotrauma. A case report details a retrobulbar hemorrhage in a diver with Eustachian tube issues, highlighting the need to rule out vascular anomalies.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Diving Medicine
Radiology

Background:

Intraorbital hematoma is an uncommon consequence of barotrauma during scuba diving.
This case report focuses on a specific instance of retrobulbar hemorrhage linked to diving activities.

Observation:

A 36-year-old female diver experienced left eyelid swelling after descending to 10 meters.
Imaging revealed a retrobulbar intraconal hemorrhage in the left orbit.
The patient had pre-existing fibrous constrictions of the Eustachian tubes, impeding nasopharyngeal decompression.

Findings:

Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging confirmed the retrobulbar hemorrhage.
Angiography performed three months post-incident did not identify any intracranial vascular anomalies.

The patient recovered without residual complaints.

Implications:

Exclusion of underlying cerebrovascular anomalies is crucial to prevent recurrence of retrobulbar hemorrhage.
Eustachian tube dysfunction may represent a complicating risk factor in scuba diving-related barotrauma.
Further investigation into the relationship between diving, barotrauma, and orbital hemorrhage is warranted.
