Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a symmetric flow transport that surrounds brain and central nervous system (CNS). Congenital hydrocephalusis is an asymmetric and unusual cerebrospinal fluid flow during fetal development. This dumping impact enhances the elasticity over the ventricle wall. Henceforth, compression change influences the force of brain tissues. This paper presents a mathematical model to establish the effects of ventricular elasticity through a porous channel. The current model is good enough for immediate use by a neurosurgeon. The mathematical model is likely to be a powerful tool for the better treatment of hydrocephalus and other brain biomechanics. The non-linear dimensionless governing equations are solved using a perturbation technique, and the outcome is portrayed graphically with the aid of MATLAB.

Highlights

  • Cerebrospinal fluid is an emerging fluid in biomechanics

  • The present study highlights the comprehension of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics in the population affected by hydrocephalus

  • The development of CSF during constrained convection can be distinguished at the level of the brain during hydrocephalus

Summary

Introduction

Cerebrospinal fluid is an emerging fluid in biomechanics. It has been used by many researchers for prognosis of pathophysiological disorders. It has a wide interest in terms of various characteristics of flows under disparate conditions. The development of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is connected to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The heart drives blood flow, including at the beginning of CSF pulsation through the development and constriction of cerebral veins. The respiration of cardiovascular activity affects the volume of the spinal subarachnoid space (SAS). Hydrocephalus is a CSF pathology that can be analyzed to diagnose and predict the disease
