| Subject |
Papilledema, Idiopathic intracranial hypertention, chronic daily headache |
| Description |
Normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure in adults, measured by lumbar puncture with the patient in the lateral decubitus position, varies between 80 and 200 mm of water. Contrary to popular belief, CSF pressure is not dependent on weight or height (1), although pressure readings may be spuriously elevated when the patient coughs, strains, or holds his or her breath during the procedure. |
