A member asked:
Possible to have mild(as in not needing to treat it)increased intracranial pressure?it didnt show up too high but higher than normal on spinal tap.

Context Is Key.: It is important to know why you had the spinal tap in the first place to answer your question. Medicine is rife with what are called incidental findings, which means things are found to lie outside the normal reference range but do not necessarily require treatment. That may possibly be applicable here. But anything involving the brain should be evaluated in person by a medical professional.
