This is a prospective study to evaluate a new non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring device using ultrasound technology in the clinical setting.

Study subjects will include patients 18 years of age and older, admittedto the Neurologic Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for increased ICP requiring intracranial catheter (IVC) placement. The measurements taken with the non-invasive device will be compared to the ICP measurements obtained with the IVC already in place for the monitoring and treatment of the increased ICP.
