Increased intracranial pressure due to metastatic brain disease is one of the oncological emergencies. It may cause herniation or insufficient brain blood flow, thus it is a life-threatening condition. This article focuses on diagnostic and treatment options, which should be introduced immediately. The prognosis remains poor.
