Sudden massive raise in icp is suspected. A pontine bleed or any brain stem haemorrhage can be possible. Sudden hydrocephalus or even an aneurysm bleed can lead to this. Stabilise the patient. Get a Cat brain and rule out hydrocephalus. If present, put an evd post haste to reduce icp and drain csf in a regulated manner. Once the patient is stable, get an mri to look for other aetiology. And angiogram maybe indicated for aneurysms. Proceed accordingly. Don’t rule out sepsis or meningitis if indicated historically. The prognosis is poor
