Background: Hyperosmolar therapy with mannitol or hypertonic saline solution is the main
medical strategy for the clinical management of intracranial hypertension (IH) and cerebral
oedema. IH and cerebral oedema are usually the result of acute and chronic brain injuries
such as severe head trauma, ischaemic stroke, intracerebral haemorrhage, aneurismal sub-
arachnoid haemorrhage, tumours and cerebral infections.
Objective: We conducted this research in order to assess the benets and side effects of
osmotherapy and to identify the current trends in the management of IH and cerebral
oedema. These two conditions worsen neurological outcomes and are the major cause of
mortality in neurological patients.
In this article we show the current evidence supporting the use of HTS and mannitol,
and examine the question of which of the two agents is considered the best option for the
medical treatment of IH. We review the efcacy data for HTS compared with mannitol in
terms of clinical considerations.
Conclusion: Data availability is limited because of small sample sizes, inconsistent methods
and few prospective randomized comparative studies, although both agents are effective
and have a reasonable risk prole for the treatment of cerebral oedema and IH. Currently,
several trials show that HTS could be more effective in reducing ICP, with longer lasting
effects. HTS maintains systemic and cerebral haemodynamics.
