Intracranial hypertension is a state of pressure elevation within the skull that may cause various neurological disorders. The condition may arise from congenital and acquired etiologies and manifest with a diverse range of symptoms, from mild headaches and nausea to sensory disturbances, seizures, cardiovascular instability, and unconsciousness. Diagnostic and management approaches differ based on the underlying condition. Understanding the mechanisms underlying intracranial pressure alterations is crucial to diagnosis. A deep grasp of evidence-based interventions can help health providers determine the appropriate management strategy for a patient with intracranial hypertension.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to sharpen learners’ proficiency in evaluating and managing intracranial hypertension. Participants gain a heightened capacity to navigate intracranial hypertension’s complexities, informed by evidence-based practices, and a strengthened ability to improve neurological outcomes. Increased diagnostic and management acumen equips learners to collaborate effectively within an interprofessional team caring for patients with intracranial hypertension.
