Brief Summary

The goals of neuroanesthesia are to ensure stable peri operative cerebral hemodynamics and avoid sudden rise in intracranial pressure to prevent acute swelling. Rised intracranial pressure ice is usually morbidity, mortality, and poor neurological outcomes. Raised intracranial pressure can arise from intracranial SOL and nontraumatic origin.

Monitoring of intracranial pressure therefore becomes necessary in patients

Presenting with the space occupying lesions. Invasive intracranial pressure monitoring is gold standard but it is associated with complications.

The use of bedside ocular ultrasonography in measuring optic nerve sheath diameter can be useful method for defecting raised intracranial pressure.It has the advantage of being a noninvasive,portable and easily preformed approach.

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha -2 adrenoreceptor agonist recently introduced in anesthesia practice . It produces dose dependent sedation,anxiolytics and analgesia without respiratory depression.

This study is therefore designed to evaluate the effect of Dexmedetomidine as an anesthetiser adjuvant on the size of optic nerve sheath diameter and central venous pressure in elective neurological procedures
