Intracranial Pressure Sensor

An intracranial pressure device for measuring CSF pressure in a skull includes a housing located between the scalp and the skull containing pressure device circuitry and a conduit extending downwardly from the housing to the vicinity of the CSF. A pressure sensor is coupled to the conduit and located in communication with the CSF wherein the pressure sensor directly senses the pressure of the CSF and provides a signal representative of the pressure of the CSF to the pressure device circuitry by way of the conduit. The skull has a dura and the conduit extends by way of an opening through the skull and an opening through the dura to position the sensor in direct contact with the CSF. A fluid reservoir can be in communication with the CSF by way of a tube and by way of the housing. The fluid reservoir contains CSF.
