Abstract
We report a two-dimensional, diagrammatic approach to help visualize the interactions which may alter CSF pressure. As shown by the dashed axes of Figure I, we begin with the experimentally determined plot of CSF pressure vs CSF volume change. In defining this curve experimentally, volume loading always begins at equilibrium CSF pressure (Peq) which is taken to be the stable pressure level which results when the craniospinal system is left totally unperturbed under constant physiological conditions.
