“…In 1980, the first non-invasive measurements of the ICP in infants via the anterior fontanelle were performed [ 106 , 107 , 108 ]. During the 1980s, this method was developed in different parts of the world, for example, in Japan [ 109 , 110 , 111 ] and later in England [ 112 ]. Other measuring devices developed during that time such as the Rotterdam transducer were also used for these measurements [ 113 , 114 ].…”

(1) Background: Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring plays a key role in the treatment of patients in intensive care units, as well as during long-term surgeries and interventions. The gold standard is invasive measurement and monitoring via ventricular drainage or a parenchymal probe. In recent decades, numerous methods for non-invasive measurement have been evaluated but none have become established in routine clinical practice. The aim of this study was to reflect on the current state of research and shed light on relevant techniques for future clinical application. (2) Methods: We performed a PubMed search for “non-invasive AND ICP AND (measurement OR monitoring)” and identified 306 results. On the basis of these search results, we conducted an in-depth source analysis to identify additional methods. Studies were analyzed for design, patient type (e.g., infants, adults, and shunt patients), statistical evaluation (correlation, accuracy, and reliability), number of included measurements, and statistical assessment of accuracy and reliability. (3) Results: MRI-ICP and two-depth Doppler showed the most potential (and were the most complex methods). Tympanic membrane temperature, diffuse correlation spectroscopy, natural resonance frequency, and retinal vein approaches were also promising. (4) Conclusions: To date, no convincing evidence supports the use of a particular method for non-invasive intracranial pressure measurement. However, many new approaches are under development.

From the results of ICP determination in 6 cases of macrocrania, it has become evident that Lundberg's pressure wave (plateau wave, B wave) can be applied satisfactorily in the evaluation or abnormality under semi-closed conditions such as occur in infants.ICP dermination in cases of macrocrania with moderately enlargement of the ventricles is important for the recognition of pathologic changes. In paticular, the pressure variation and the amplitude changes during REM period seem to be an interesting index of the extent of the involvement of the venous function. An increased ICP during REM period was also observed in a patient with holoprosencephaly, having only brain stem formation morphologically, suggesting an important relationship between the brain stem and the increased ICP during REM period.
