Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics

  • Chapter
Pediatric Hydrocephalus

Abstract

Historically, the saga of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics almost always starts with the Monro-Kellie doctrine. This states that the sum of volumes of brain, blood and CSF (although in the time of Kellie, i.e. the early nineteenth century, the volume of CSF was not considered) must be constant due to the fixed volume of the skull and spinal canal. This may be expressed mathematically as:

$$Volumeofbrain + volumeofblood + + volumeofCSF = const$$
