Modeling and simulation study of cerebrospinal fluid circulation in human brain

The monitoring of Intracranial pressure (ICP) is necessary for the patients who are suffering from the hydrocephalus disease. But the Intracranial pressure is monitored generally by invasive method in clinics. Cerebrospinal fluid circulation also plays an important role in the changes of intracranial pressure. Therefore, by using the simulation blocks in MATLAB 7.0 the cerebrospinal fluid model is designed in this paper to study the changes in intracranial pressure with the changes in volume of cerebrospinal fluid. Paper also considered some initial conditions which are taken from literature. This model provides the similar results as provided by the literature.
