Abstract
Nineteen adult hydrocephalic patients were studied to determine factors affecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow through shunts. This study was based on our previously reported method by which fluctuations in CSF flow through a shunt of 0.01 m//min to 1.93 m//min were identified, each having its own rhythmic pattern.
