Midbrain Atrophy in Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Multiple Sclerosis
The midbrain is penetrated by the cerebral aqueduct of Sylvius and surrounded by cisterns that contain CSF. Blockage of CSF flow may play a role in enlargement of the cerebal aqueduct and atrophy of the midbrain in Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, as well as as signs of nystagmus and diplopia. Continue reading
Dissociation of CSF Flow in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Dissociation of CSF flow between the cranial vault and spinal canal may play a role in many neurodegenerative diseases associated with hydrocephalus in children and adults such as: Dandy-Walker Syndrome, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multisystem atrophy, and multipe sclerosis. Continue reading
Hydrofracking, Ventriculomegaly and Brain Atrophy
Chronic venous drainage problems and high CSF pressure waves can lead to hydrofracking, ventriculomegaly and atrophy of the brain seen in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading
Ventriculomegaly and Mega Cisterns in Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons and MS
Poroelasticity of the brain plays a role in enlarged ventricles, called ventriculomegaly and shrinkage, called atrophy of structures that surround them causing many of the signs and symptoms seen in Alzheimer’s diseases, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading

Pulsatility, Pressure Waves and Neurodegenerative Diseases
Pulsatility and arterial pressure waves that are inadequately buffered in the brain may play a role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading

Blood, CSF and Battered Bones
The cranial vault and brain are poroelastic structures constantly battered by the pulsating waves of blood and CSF flow. The hydraulic force of CSF is strong enough to erode bone. It may similarly erode the brain. Continue reading

CSF and Cerebellar Symptoms in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and MS
The cerebellum may be affected in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Chiari malformations and Dandy-Walker syndrome due to obstruction of CSF flow in the foramen magnum and upper cervical spinal canal. Continue reading
The Cisterns and Cine CSF Flow Studies
Blockage of CSF flow in the spinal canal can cause an increase in CSF volume, backjets and turbulance in the cisterns that may play a role in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis, as well as other neurodegenerative diseases. Continue reading
CSF Cistern Compression of the Brainstem
Obstruction to CSF and venous blood flow between the brain and cord can lead to an increase in CSF in the cisterns and subsequent dysautonomia, Parkinsonism and cerebellar signs and symptoms, as well as atrophy of the brainstem and cerebellum. Continue reading

Cervical Spondylosis and CSF Flow in the Cisterns
Degenerative changes in the cervical spine called spondylosis can cause tubulance, backjets and standing waves of CSF to form in the basal cisterns of the brain resulting in neurodegenerative processes and subsequent diseases such as Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading
