Interactions of brain, blood, and CSF: a novel mathematical model of cerebral edema

ConclusionsThe model accurately depicts the complex interactions that occur between pressure, volume, and resistances to flow in the different intracranial compartments under specific pathophysiological conditions. In modelling resistance to bulk flow of cerebral ISF, it may serve as a platform for improved modelling of cerebral edema and blood –brain barrier disruption that occur following brain injury.
