Abstract:
Background: A clear connection has been established between arachnoid cysts (ACs) and the evolution of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a connection, which is presently not well understood. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an integral element of this condition. Little is known about either the influence of AC on CSF hydrodynamics or the specific nature of CSF, which contributes to the complex pathology of IIH. Case Description: This study aimed to chronicle in detail four patients with previously treated intracranial ACs, who developed persistent IIH. This series and review aims to identify and qualitatively analyze the multiple constituents, which could possibly elucidate the intrinsic relationship between arachnoid cyst-induced IIH and CSF hydrodynamics. A retrospective analysis of the medical records of four patients admitted to the institution’s neurosurgery department during the period of 1994–2013 was completed. This study investigated discernible aspects linking CSF pathophysiology with the development of IIH in AC patients. Four male patients, ranging from 3 to 44 years of age at presentation, had a left-sided arachnoid cyst treated surgically. All four patients subsequently developed IIH. Three patients remain persistently symptomatic. Conclusion: IIH associated with AC is a hydrodynamic disorder. The full discovery of its fluctuant pathophysiology is the only way to identify an effective standard for the management and treatment of this condition.

Abstract:
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To quantify the effect of decompression surgery on craniocervical junction hydrodynamics and on global intracranial compliance (ICC) in patients with Chiari I malformation by use of magnetic resonance measurements of cerebrospinal fluid and blood flow. Studying the effect of decompression surgery may improve our understanding of the pathophysiological characteristics of Chiari I malformation and aid in identifying patients who will benefit from the procedure. METHODS: Twelve patients were studied with a 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging scanner before and after decompression surgery. Cine phase contrast magnetic resonance images were used to quantify maximum cord displacement, maximum systolic cerebrospinal fluid velocity and volumetric flow rate, and overall ICC. ICC was derived by use of a previously reported method that measures small changes in intracranial volume and pressure that occur naturally with each cardiac cycle. RESULTS: After surgery, changes were documented both in the local hydrodynamic parameters and in ICC. However, only the change in ICC, an average increase of more than 60%, was statistically significant. Increased ICC, which was associated with improved outcome, was measured in 10 of the 12 patients, no significant change was documented in 1 patient, and decreased ICC was measured in 1 patient whose symptoms persisted after surgery. CONCLUSION: An increase in the overall compliance of the intracranial compartment is the most significant and consistent change measured after decompression surgery. Changes in cord displacement, cerebrospinal fluid velocities, and flow in the craniospinal junction were less consistent and less affected by the operation. Thus, ICC may play an important role in the outcome of decompression surgery related to improving symptoms and restoring normal neurological hydrodynamics in patients with Chiari I malformations.

Abstract:
We propose fast phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging (PC-cine MRI) to allow breath-hold acquisition, and we compared intracranial hemo- and hydrodynamic parameters obtained during breath holding between full inspiration and end expiration. On a 3.0 T MRI, using electrocardiogram (ECG)-synchronized fast PC-cine MRI with parallel imaging, rectangular field of view, and segmented k-space, we obtained velocity-mapped phase images at the mid-C2 level with different velocity encoding for transcranial blood flow and cerebrospinal-fluid (CSF) flow. Next, we calculated the peak-to-peak amplitudes of cerebral blood flow (ΔCBF), cerebral venous outflow, intracranial volume change, CSF pressure gradient (ΔPG), and intracranial compliance index. These parameters were compared between the proposed and conventional methods. Moreover, we compared these parameters between different utilized breath-hold maneuvers (inspiration, expiration, and free breathing). All parameters derived from the fast PC method agreed with those from the conventional method. The ΔPG was significantly higher during full inspiration breath holding than at the end of expiration and during free breathing. The proposed fast PC-cine MRI reduced scan time (within 30 s) with good agreement with conventional methods. The use of this method also makes it possible to assess the effects of respiration on intracranial hemo- and hydrodynamics.

Abstract:
The craniocervical junction (CCJ) is a potential choke point for craniospinal hydrodynamics and may play a causative or contributory role in the pathogenesis and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, MS, and ALS, as well as many other neurological conditions including hydrocephalus, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, migraines, seizures, silent-strokes, affective disorders, schizophrenia, and psychosis. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the critical role of the CCJ in craniospinal hydrodynamics and to stimulate further research that may lead to new approaches for the prevention and treatment of the above neurodegenerative and neurological conditions.

Abstract:
Object A retrospective study of 1727 cases of craniosynostosis was undertaken to determine the interrelationship between abnormal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) hydrodynamics and craniosynostosis. Methods The patients were divided intwo two groups: nonsyndromic craniosynostosis and syndromic craniosynostosis. Cases of occipital plagiocephaly without suture synostosis and cases of shunt-induced craniosynostosis were excluded from the study. The majority of patients (1297) were treated surgically for their cranial deformity; 95% of these patients had a postoperative follow-up review lasting 5 years. Clinical and radiographic charts covering the time from presentation through the follow-up period were reviewed. Conclusions Abnormal intracranial CSF hydrodynamics was found in 8.1% of the patients (3.4% of whom had received shunts and 4.5% of whom had not). Three types of CSF hydrodynamic disturbance were observed: progressive hydrocephalus with ventricular dilation, nonprogressive ventriculomegaly, and dilation of the subarachnoid spaces. Hydrocephalus occurred much more frequently in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis (12.1%) than in those with isolated craniosynostosis (0.3%). In fact, patients with kleeblattschädel exhibited hydrocephalus as a constant feature and patients with Crouzon's syndrome were far more likely to have hydrocephalus than those with other syndromes. In Apert's syndrome, ventricular dilation occurred very frequently, but it was almost always nonprogressive in nature. In most cases of syndromic craniosynostosis, venous sinus obstruction and/or chronic tonsillar herniation were found. Their role in the pathophysiology of hydrocephalus in craniosynostosis is discussed.

Abstract:
Studies of the mechanisms of visual analyzer adaptation in remote space missions are of paramount importance in the domain of space medicine. Pathogenesis of ocular nerve edema, the fundamental symptom of space-flight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS), remains unclear. One of the hypothesized SANS trigger is a change of the pressure gradient in the sclera lattice coat of the membrane due to fluctuations of both the intracranial and intraocular pressures in the absence of gravity. This work extended the previous studies of ocular hydrodynamics during 5-day simulation of the microgravity body effects by dry immersion. We present the results of intraocular hydrobalance analysis after 21-d DI with participation of 8 male subjects at the age of 24 to 35 years. Data of electron tonography and diurnal intraocular pressure measurements were correlated with the fluid balance dynamics. Ocular hydrodynamics disbalance was registered in 80 % of the subjects. Tonography revealed clinically significant changes in 25 % of the subjects. These results enabled determination of the degree and character of ocular hydrodynamics autoregulation in the condition of compensatory body hypohydration.

Abstract:
L'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) permet maintenant d'observer différents types de tissus avec des résolutions de plus en plus fines. L'arbre vasculaire artériel et veineux est explorable et les flux peuvent y être caractérisés de façon non invasive. Le versant artériel de l'arbre vasculaire peut être obtenu par une imagerie dite par « temps de vol » et le versant veineux par une imagerie en contraste de phase. Le développement de reconstructions de cartographies de susceptibilité magnétique (QSM) permet d'améliorer le niveau de détails atteignable sur les veines en fournissant en plus la possibilité de quantifier des paramètres physiologiques comme la saturation veineuse en oxygène. La mise en place d'algorithmes et outils dédiés permet la reconstruction in-silico d'une architecture cohérente sujet-spécifique. Par ailleurs grâce à l'emploi de séquences de la dynamique telles que le contraste de phase dynamique et l'imagerie par marquage des protons artériels du sang, les débits artériels, veineux, et perfusionnels sont mesurables. L'intégralité de ces acquisitions est non invasive, donc applicable à l'intégralité des sujets passant des IRM. Sur la base de ces données anatomiques et dynamiques, un modèle complet et sujet-spécifique de l'hydrodynamique intracrânienne est proposé. Le flux sanguin et cérébro-spinal est décrit dans ce modèle par les équations bilans fondamentales de l'hydrodynamique : conservation de la masse, conservation de la quantité de mouvement. Pour tenir compte de l'adaptation du diamètre des vaisseaux aux pressions on introduit pour chaque compartiment un paramètre d'élasticité de la paroi et une équation correspondante. Grâce aux données d'imagerie IRM, les compartiments sanguins des artères aux veines, le parenchyme cérébral et le système ventriculaire sont inclus. Le modèle permet de simuler la répartition des flux et des pressions dans les différents compartiments de la vascularisation du patient ainsi que d'évaluer les effets d'occlusions localisées sur l'ensemble de l'architecture
The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the observation of various kind of tissues with always increasing resolution. The arterial and venous vascular trees can be explored, and the flows can be characterized in a noninvasive way. As an example, the arterial part of the tree can be obtained using so-called “Time Of Flight” MRI, and the venous part with phase contrast techniques. The development of quantitative susceptibility maps (QSM) improves the level of details achievable regarding veins; furthermore, it provides a new way to estimate physiological parameters such as venous saturation in oxygen. Eventually the implementation of dedicated algorithms and tools allows the in-silico reconstruction of a subject-specific coherent architecture. Moreover, due to the use of dynamic imaging sequences such as the dynamic phase contrast imaging and the arterial spin labeling, the arterial, venous and cerebral blood flow are measurable. All of these sequences are noninvasive and so usable on every subjects. Based on these anatomical and dynamics data, a full subject-specific model of the brain hydrodynamics is proposed here. The blood and cerebrospinal flow are described using basic balance equations of the hydrodynamics: continuity and momentum. To take into account of the adaptation of vessel diameter to the pressure, a wall elasticity parameter is added for each compartment together with the corresponding equation. Thanks to the MRI data, all the blood compartments, from arteries to vein, the cerebral parenchyma and the ventricular system are included. The model is able to simulate the flow and pressure repartition in all compartments of the subjects as well as show the impact of a located occlusion on the whole architecture

Abstract:
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the spinal canal is far from a stagnant column of liquid, simply bathing the spinal cord, but is constantly being subjected to waves of energy, produced by both the cardiac and the respiratory cycles. Moreover, the spinal subarachnoid channels are normally in free communication with the intracranial basal cisterns and volume exchanges take place between these two compartments, during normal daily activities. A variety of pathological processes can alter CSF hydrodynamics, leading to the development of several conditions. These include Chiari malformations and syringomyelia, as well as extra-axial collections of CSF. They are best regarded as disorders of CSF circulation, rather than as isolated spinal pathologies.

Abstract:
Subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke is a devastating illness with a 30-day mortality rate of 45% and is mostly caused due to the rupture of an intracranial aneurysm. Although these aneurysms are currently treated surgically by clipping, or, endovascularly by coiling and stent-assisted coiling, the feasibility of successfully treating aneurysms solely by the placement of an intravascular flow-diverting mesh across the aneurysm neck was established more than a decade ago [1]. Flow divertors disrupt the momentum exchange between the parent artery and aneurysm and significantly reduce intraaneurysmal hydrodynamic vorticity. The resultant flow stasis promotes thrombus formation within the aneurysm sac, which eventually matures into fibrotic tissue, leading to the exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation. With the increased use of stents in the intracranial circulation, cases where coiling is not feasible, or is staged as a secondary procedure, are providing clinical evidence of the successful treatment of aneurysms with stents alone [2,3]. Such reports are sporadic and, moreover, the devices used are not designed to be flow divertors. Methodological evidence of the performance of appropriately designed flow divertors in treating cerebral aneurysms is currently unavailable.

Abstract:
Despite many advances in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms in the last few decades, none of the available methods provide an unequivocal solution for all aneurysm sizes and morphologies. The feasibility of successfully treating aneurysms solely by the placement of an intravascular flow-diverting mesh across the aneurysm neck was established more than a decade ago [1]. Flow diverters disrupt the momentum exchange between the parent artery and aneurysm and significantly reduce intraaneurysmal hydrodynamic vorticity and kinetic energy. The resultant flow stasis promotes thrombus formation within the aneurysm sac, which eventually matures into fibrotic tissue, leading to exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation. With the increased use of stents in the intracranial circulation, cases where coiling is not feasible, or is staged as a secondary procedure, are providing clinical evidence of the successful treatment of aneurysms with stents alone [2,3]. Methodological evidence of the performance of appropriately designed flow diverters in treating cerebral aneurysms has recently become available in the literature [4,5].
