Surgery
Raised intracranial pressure,In certain situations, anticonvulsants may be used to prevent seizures; these are focal neurological problems (e.g. inability to move a limb) and/or focal changes of the brain tissue on CT or MRI scan.
- Therapeutic lumbar puncture (removal of excessive cerebrospinal fluid)
- Optic nerve sheath fenestration
- Shunting
