Increased intracranial pressure occurs with:: (A) Rocuronium, (B) Vecuronium, (C) Succinylcholine, (D) None of the above

The mechanisms and clinical significance of this transient increase are unknown, but the rise in intracranial pressure does not occur after pretreatment with nondepolarizing neuromuscular blockers Ref: Miller's anesthesia-7th ed , Chapter 29.
