The pulsatile component of intracranial pressure (ICP) has been shown to be a predictor of outcome in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Experimental studies have demonstrated that the pulse amplitude of ICP (AMP(ICP)) is dependent on the mean ICP (mICP), and on the pulse amplitude of the cerebral arterial blood volume (AMP(CaBV)), according to the exponential craniospinal compliance curve. In this study, we compared the influence of mICP and AMP(CaBV) on AMP(ICP) in patients with NPH (infusion study) and TBI (spontaneous recording). We retrospectively analyzed 25 NPH and 43 TBI patients with continuous monitoring of ICP and cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), as assessed with transcranial doppler. AMP(CaBV) was extracted from the CBFV waveform. The influence of mICP and AMP(CaBV) on AMP(ICP) were determined using partial coefficients a, b, and c of the multiple regression model: AMP(ICP)-a* mICP+b* AMP(CaBV)+c. AMP(ICP) was more dependent on mICP in NPH patients than in TBI patients (partial coefficient a-0.93 versus-0.03; p
