Abstract
The subdural screw bolt, with all its variations [1, 2, 3], remains a common method for ICP monitoring in clinical practice and experimental studies [2, 4, 5, 6]. Since the first report by Vries et al. [1], many authors have tried to improve the static performance of this device. When the lumen is occluded by brain tissue, or a blood clot, the ICP tends to be underestimated when the pressure is high [7]. Regardless of the occlussion and the resulting falsely low pressure reading, the CSF pulsations are preserved. Some workers have produced modified versions of the original screw [2, 3]. Dearden et al. [2] and Shields et al. [9] have designed infusion and flush techniques to solve this problem.
