papaverine and Intracranial Hypertension

papaverine has been researched along with Intracranial Hypertension in 3 studies

Papaverine: An alkaloid found in opium but not closely related to the other opium alkaloids in its structure or pharmacological actions. It is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant used in the treatment of impotence and as a vasodilator, especially for cerebral vasodilation. The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on calcium channels.
papaverine : A benzylisoquinoline alkaloid that is isoquinoline substituted by methoxy groups at positions 6 and 7 and a 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl group at position 1. It has been isolated from Papaver somniferum.

Intracranial Hypertension: Increased pressure within the cranial vault. This may result from several conditions, including HYDROCEPHALUS; BRAIN EDEMA; intracranial masses; severe systemic HYPERTENSION; PSEUDOTUMOR CEREBRI; and other disorders.

"Intraarterial papaverine infusions are performed to reverse cerebral arterial vasospasm resulting from subarachnoid hemorrhage, but such infusions may lead to increases in intracranial pressure (ICP)."3.70Intracranial pressure monitoring during intraarterial papaverine infusion for cerebral vasospasm. ( Angtuaco, EE; Cross, DT; Dacey, RG; Diringer, MN; Milburn, JM; Moran, CJ, 1998)
"Two patients showed signs of elevated intracranial pressure after the procedures and also had ASrO2 readings exceeding 15%; measures to lower arterial hypertension reduced SrO2 in these patients."2.72[Behaviour of near-infrared cerebral oximetry readings during percutaneous carotid angioplasty].
