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 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
CSF Fountains, Pulsations and Flow
CSF flow is driven by waves called pulsations. If CSF waves are too strong or too weak, they can damage the brain resulting in neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and mutliple sclerosis. Continue reading

CSF Currents, Winds and Tides
CSF flow is determined by currents, winds and tides that can pound and erode the brain when the flow is blocked or their forces collide. Continue reading
CSF, Clapotis, Cisterns and Cysts
It is possible that faulty CSF flow through the foramen magnum and upper cervical spine can result in standing waves and water hammers that causes cysts to form in the cisterns, subarachnoid spaces and central canal. Continue reading

The Missed Measure of Man
The design of the posterior fossa predisposes humans to normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), Chiari malformations, cysts such as Dandy-Walker syndrome, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. Continue reading

Cysts, Syrinxes and CSF
In addition to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, obstruction to CSF flow can cause turbulance and jets that erode tissues and lead to the formation of cysts and syrinxes in the brain and cord. Continue reading
