Chairmen’s Introduction and Comments

The Distribution of Pressures within the Intracranial Cavity

  • Conference paper
Intracranial Pressure II

Abstract

This session is devoted to the distribution of pressures within the intracranial cavity. It is particularly related to a discussion of whether or not differential pressure gradients exist and, if so, whether they are the result or the cause of mass displacements.
