Compartmental analysis of compliance and outflow resistance of the cerebrospinal fluid system
TLDR
The distribution of compliance and outflow resistance between cerebral and spinal compartments was measured in anesthetized, ventilated cats by analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure response to changes in CSF volume.Abstract:
✓ The distribution of compliance and outflow resistance between cerebral and spinal compartments was measured in anesthetized, ventilated cats by analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure response to changes in CSF volume. Cerebral and spinal compartments were isolated by inflating a balloon positioned epidurally at the level of C-6. The change of CSF volume per unit change in pressure (compliance) and change of CSF volume per unit of time (absorption) were evaluated by inserting pressure data from the experimental responses into a series of equations developed from a mathematical model. It was found that 68% of total compliance is contributed by the cerebral compartment while the remaining 32% is contained within the spinal axis. The cerebral compartment accounted for 84% of total CSF absorption. The mechanism for spinal absorption appears to be similar in that no differences were obvious on the basis of pressure dynamics.read more

Complications and Clinical Course After Shunting of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
TL;DR: The classical normal pressure hydrocephalus combines the clinical triad of dementia, gait disturbances, and urinary incontinence with ventricular dilatation on computed tomography (CT) with multiple diagnostic tools but therapeutic successes after shunting are obscured by shunt-related complications.

TL;DR: Evidence of normal ventricular pressure does not exclude the possibility of progressive hydrocephalus, and increased pressure is likely to occur for quite long periods while the hydrocephalic infant is engaged in normal infantile activities.
