Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to compare the effect of intravenous paracetamol administration on mean brain temperature (measured between H0 and H6) in patients with cerebral hyperthermia versus placebo.

The investigators will measure brain temperature using a thermistor that will be connected to the intracranial pressure transducer.
