CSF Dynamics

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics refer to the production, circulation, and absorption of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. CSF is produced mainly in the ventricles of the brain, flows through the spaces around the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning, removing waste, and maintaining stable pressure. Proper balance is vital; too much or too little CSF can lead to medical conditions like hydrocephalus (fluid buildup). Overall, CSF dynamics ensure the central nervous system is protected, nourished, and functioning optimally.
