A member asked:
In what way can intracranial pressure(csf) be reduced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Intracranial pressur: Reducing intracranial pressure is really based on what is causing the pressure. In some cases a spinal tap can be done, there are medications available that can reduce fluid pressure and if do to an obstruction then a tube can be place (a shunt) to bypass the obstruction.
