  1. Measurements and Computational Modeling of Cerebrospinal Fluid Flow in Humans BMES Annual Meeting, October 6 - 9, 2010 Austin, TX Track: Systems Biology, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Brian Sweetman, Richard Penn, and Andreas A. Linninger Laboratory for Product and Process Design Department of Bioengineering University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)

  2. Specific Research Questions Why does the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsate? What is the CSF pressure? How does hydrocephalus occur?

  3. Hydrocephalus Healthy Hydrocephalic

  4. Specific Research Questions Why does the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsate? What is the CSF pressure? How does hydrocephalus occur?

  5. From Medical Imaging to Computational Modeling Medical Imaging 1st Principles: Math/Physics Computer Science

  6. Blood Flow Drives the CSF Motion

  7. Blood Flow Drives the CSF Motion

  8. Specific Research Questions Why does the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pulsate? What is the CSF pressure? How does hydrocephalus occur?

  9. We Calculate the CSF Pressure Field Early systole (86% cc) Mid systole (15% cc) Late systole (24% cc) Diastole (60% cc) Mass balance; incompressible fluid Momentum balance

  11. Ventricular Enlargement: Hakim’s Theory A large pressure difference must exist between the lateral ventricles and the subarachnoid space Cranial vault Dura mater Subdural space (vacuum) Arachnoid membrane Arachnoidal strands Subarachnoid space Piaglial membrane Lateral ventricle S. Hakim, et al. Surg Neurol. 5 (1976) 187-210.

  12. Intracranial Pressure and Hydrocephalus: Dogs

  13. Intracranial Pressure and Hydrocephalus: Humans 3551 Pa 1875 Pa 502 Pa Flow Pressure Linninger, A.A., B. Sweetman, and R. Penn, Normal and hydrocephalic brain dynamics: the role of reduced cerebrospinal fluid reabsorption in ventricular enlargement. Ann Biomed Eng, 2009. 37(7): p. 1434-47. Linninger, A.A., et al. Pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the human brain. TBME, 2005. 52(4): p. 557-65.

  14. Conclusions Large pressure gradients are not needed to induce hydrocephalus Blood flow drives CSF motion The Navier-Stokes equations allow us to calculate the pressure gradients in the brain
