Abstract
Thirteen years ago, we reported that a sustained fall in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure below the initial level takes place following intrathecal pressure infusion (Sugiura et al, 1972). Its mechanism was explained by the altered dynamics produced by the forced increase in the pressure gradient with a resulting increased CSF drainage into the blood.
