Monro-Kellie hypothesis refers to
a) the dynamic equilibrium of cranial contents.
The hypothesis states that because of the limited space for expansion
within the skull, an increase in any one of the cranial contents (brain
tissue, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid) causes a change in the volume of
the others.
b) unresponsiveness to the environment.
Akinetic mutism is the phrase used to refer to unresponsiveness to the
environment.
c) the brain’s attempt to restore blood flow by increasing arterial
pressure to overcome the increased intracranial pressure.
Cushing’s response is the phrase used to refer to the brain’s attempt
to restore blood flow by increasing arterial pressure to overcome the
increased intracranial pressure.
d) a condition in which the patient is wakeful but devoid of conscious
content, without cognitive or affective mental function.
Persistent vegetative state is the phrase used to describe a condition
in which the patient is wakeful but devoid of conscious content,
without cognitive or affective mental function.
