In the last 20 years, researchers have debated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics theories, commonly based on the classic bulk flow perspective. New hypotheses do not consider a possible hydraulic impact of the ventricular morphology. The present study investigates, by means of a mathematical model, the eventual role played by the geometric shape of the "third ventricle-aqueduct-fourth ventricle" complex in CSF circulation under the assumption that the complex behaves like a diffuser/nozzle (DN) pump.

Abstract: | In the last 20 years, researchers have debated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics theories, commonly based on the classic bulk flow perspective. New hypotheses do not consider a possible hydraulic impact of the ventricular morphology. The present study investigates, by means of a mathematical model, the eventual role played by the geometric shape of the "third ventricle-aqueduct-fourth ventricle" complex in CSF circulation under the assumption that the complex behaves like a diffuser/nozzle (DN) pump. | |
