LP - opening pressure

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
is it equal to intracranial pressure ..?? 😕

thanks.

OP is the pressure of CSF measured by manometry at the site of the LP. It may or may not reflect the ICP that you would record by measuring ICP from a "bolt" inserted into the ventricles. It's really just a question of basic physics (hydrodymamics), and you can figure it out easily.
