title: [Characteristics of intracranial volume-pressure relationship in hydrocephalic children with reference to age].
abstract: The purpose of the study was establishing of the effect of child's age, and thus the biomechanical properties of cranial coverings, on the parameters characterizing the intracranial space in the infusion test. The results of the infusion tests performed as a supplementary diagnostic examination in 59 cases of infantile hydrocephalus were subjected to statistical analysis. The studied material and the methods used for its processing no significant differences were found in the mean values of the biomechanical parameters of intracranial space were found between the group of younger children (aged up to 2 years) and older children (over 2 years). This finding may be important in the interpretation of the results of the infusion test, since it was not found that the biomechanical properties of the cranial coverings had any significant effect on the results of this test.
