β¦ Synopsis
Utilizing an atraumatic model to produce chronic hydrocephalus, CSF production was measured during and after development of communicatin hydrocephalus. CSF volume production was significantly lower in animals with increased pressure. Animals with chronic hydrocephalus and normal pressures had abnormal CSF production. Diminished CSF production appears to offer a potential compensatory mechanism when CSF absorption is altered.

The aim of the study was to determine whether changes in intracranial pressure aEect the cerebrospinal fluid formation measured by the ventriculocisternal perfusion technique in the whole of the cerebrospinal fluid system. Domestic cats of both sexes were used and the rate of cerebrospinal fluid for
Xanthine, hypoxanthine, and total oxypurine levels were determined in the cerebrospinal fluid of 18 hydrocephalic patients and 8 healthy controls by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Eight of the hydrocephalic patients were self-compensated and 10 had shunts implanted during the course
