Disturbance of the hemispheric cerebral circula-tion and brain dysfunction in acute intracranial hypertension were evaluated noninvasively by ultasonic Doppler technique and multimodality evo-ked potentials consisting of auditory evoked brain-stem response (ABR), cortical somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and visual evoked poten-tial (VEP) in 36 patients with severe head injury and cerebrovascular disease. Glasgow coma scale score was less than 8 in all cases and the age ranged from 17 to 75 years (mean of 46 years). Intracranial pressure (ICP) was measured from the extradural space using Gaeltec transducer and systemic blood pressure was simultaneously record-ed. Common carotid blood flow velocity (CBFV) was recorded on both sides and mean velocity (M), diastolic mean velocity (Md) and mean blood flow were calculated. The abnormalities on MEPs were graded into 4 categories.

M and Md values on CBFV were significantly (p<0.05 and p<0.01) lowered on affected side (main lesion side) even when ICP was staying less than 20mmHg comparing with control value obtained from the normal subjects (M: 19.48±3.52, Md: 15.98±2.01cm/sec). With the increase of ICP more than 21mmHg, CBFV on the contralateral side was also decreased and M as well as Md values were maintained at the lowered level during 21 to 60mmHg of ICP. A significant rapid decrease of CBFV was observed at extreme intracranial hypertension more than 61mmHg. Lowered CBFV was also noted when cerebral perfusion pressure was reduced less than 50mmHg. Intracranial hypertension induced a proportionate decrease in mean blood flow calulated too, but the changes were definite in those of Md values. MEPs show-ed nearly normal or slightly abnormal in 51.7-77.4% of each modality when ICP remained less than 20mmHg. But the abnormality on MEPs increased proportionately with the rise of ICP more than 21mmHg. MEPs abnormality was more frequently seen on SEP and VEP than ABR and 87.5-100% of MEPs showed a moderate to severe abnormality in all modalities when ICP rose more than 40mmHg. Intracranial hypertension more than 40mmHg and MEPs abnormality were well correlated with poor outcome.

These results indicate that the measurements of CBFV, especially of Md value and MEPs could be used as indices of hemispheric circulatory dis-turbance and brain dysfunction in acute intra-cranial hypertension.
