Abstract

Increased intracranial pressure with supratentorial mass lesion causes a pressure difference between the supratentorial and infratentorial compartments, which eventually causes transtentorial herniation(2). Since the brain tissue is a kind of viscoelastic substance, the distorted brain develops the shearing stress. The present experiment was undertaken in an attempt to measure the shearing stress which develops in the herniated brain at the edge of the tentorium.
