A method is disclosed for non-invasive determination of intracranial pressur e using an intracranial pressure monitor. The method preferably includes retin al scanning with a retinal scanner of the ocular fundus to determine dioxyhemoglobin saturation within the blood vessels of the retina. Through simultaneous monitoring of the subject cardiac cycle with a cardiac cycle monitor during retinal scanning and measurement of the intraocular pressure, intracranial pressure is determined independent of implanting or adhering th e sensing device to the head or neck region of a test subject. The present invention provides valuable diagnostic and postoperative information for medical treatment of injured or diseased patients suffering from closed head injuries, hydrocephalus, and neurological disorders.
