A Study to Detect Progression of Mass Effect From Unilateral Brain Lesions

Early Non-invasive Detection of Progression of Mass Effect From Unilateral Brain Lesions

The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of the Brain4Care device for measuring intracranial pressure without invasive procedures.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult patients with non-traumatic hemispheric brain lesions deemed at risk for progression of mass effect and possible subfalcine and/or uncal herniation.
• Patients admitted the Neuroscience ICU for serial neurological monitoring.
• Patients whose care is not expected to include immediate surgical decompression.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients under the age of 18.
• Patients who are unable to provide consent due to neurologic deficit and does not have a surrogate decision maker available to provide consent.
• Known or suspected Pregnancy
• Adults with cranial defects or that have undergone craniectomy
