Abstract
Since first described by LUNDBERG (7), intracranial pressure (ICP) plateau waves are a well-defined pathologic clinical entity. These waves generally occur, and are most clearly noted, as being concomitant with elevated ICP. The appearance of plateau waves is considered to be a harbinger of a continuing rise of ICP and decline of the patient’s clinical status.
