CSF Flow Dynamics

CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) flow dynamics refer to how this clear fluid moves around the brain and spinal cord. CSF is produced mainly in the brain's ventricles and circulates through spaces around the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning, removing waste, and maintaining balanced pressure. Its flow is influenced by factors like heartbeat, breathing, and body movements, creating a gentle, pulsating movement. Proper circulation is essential; disruptions can lead to conditions like hydrocephalus, where fluid builds up and causes increased pressure. Understanding CSF flow helps in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders.
